Steph Chee is a sacred sound teacher and mantra practitioner with 24 years of experience transmitting from one of the oldest oral lineages on earth — the Sri Vidya Tantric tradition of the Himalayan sages.
Steph creates containers that are rigorous, devotional, and genuinely held. Students consistently describe leaving with practices that stay with them long after the retreat ends.
Steph is also a biologist. She holds a B.A. in Biology from Columbia University, and her teaching integrates the precision of contemplative neuroscience with the living intelligence of lineage practice. She speaks both languages — the ancient and the empirical — with equal authority.
Her work draws on two ancient forms: Sanskrit mantra you chant yourself, and sacred sound you receive. Both arise from the same understanding — that sound is not something we hear so much as something we are. That beneath the noise of a demanding life, there is a frequency that is already whole, already harmonic, already home.
