Calm your mind and expand your awareness through a guided meditation sound bath. This soothing practice creates a sense of calm, peace, and relaxation, promoting good health and balanced energy. Surrounded by the gentle sounds and vibrations of crystal and Tibetan singing bowls, along with Tingsha bells, you'll be guided to connect with your deeper self-consciousness. Some meditation sound baths may also incorporate soft singing, nature sounds, or rhythmic, abstract music. Please wear comfortable clothing. You may choose to sit on a chair or lie on a yoga mat, and you’re welcome to bring a blanket or pillow for added comfort. If possible, bring your own yoga mat, as our supply is limited. To ensure participants fully benefit from the health and wellness aspects of this meditative experience, the doors will close five minutes after the session begins.
