What to
Expect?
Sound can be seen as a medicine. It restores our mind, body, & spirit with the right setting & intention.
Group sessions are multifaceted. They predominantly create deep relaxation & restoration, but can hold access to deep inner shifts. Every time you come to a sound bath, there is potential for new experiences as you bring in new experiences to the space.
Apart from deep relaxation, there can be highly visual journeys, release from held stress, & states that are similar to deep meditation. Putting it simply, this can be seen as your body’s way to release & experience shifts from the predominant thinking-doing aspect of our culture. Body, mind & spirit - self healing & resting in what is.
The sessions can combine live music, recording from sereine wilderness, guided meditation, aromatherapy & simple breath patterns. This collates into experiences that allows the mind to still & inner balances to unfurl. All that is required of participants is to lay down, listen and unfold to the process.
