About Gentle Elemental

Gentle Elemental is an educational and arts wellness service founded by educator and musician Kris Kitko.
We will use the arts & interaction for a whole sensory experience of gentle sounds & sights (mostly in nature or using nature sounds).

We will help participants learn to see, hear and recall these sounds and sights in everyday life.

Studies show (see below) that gentle sounds and sights help us feel
  • happier
  • less stressed
  • more capable of performing everyday tasks at home, school, work, etc., ​
