Sound Bath

Program Details

A sound bath is a meditative experience where participants are ‘bathed’ in sound waves through the use of deeply resonant acoustic instruments like singing bowls and gongs. During a sound bath session, participants can experience a sense of awe at the sheer physicality of the singing bowls’ acoustic resonance, leading to a gradual release of tension and a meditative state of mind. As the session ends, participants can experience a restorative reset, subtler awareness of their body in its surroundings, mental clarity, and joy.

Because of the meditative nature of this class, we strongly recommend that participants be 8 years old and older.

*Please bring your own mat or blanket to lay on!
*Class location subject to change due to weather.
