A Summer Solstice Sound Immersion in a Chalet

In a beautiful and intimate space just outside of Grand Rapids, please join us for this unique Sound Immersion, taking place in a chalet built specifically for music, small concerts and sound.

Summer Solstice Sound Immersion
An Evening of Light, Renewal, and Vibration

Celebrate the longest day of the year with a deeply nourishing sound immersion honoring the energy of the summer solstice. This evening session invites you to pause, reflect, and align with the radiant power of the sun through the healing vibrations of sound.

Surrounded by the warm tones of tuning forks, gongs, Tibetan singing bowls, chimes, the ethereal Rav Vast drum, and various other instruments, you’ll be guided into a deeply relaxed state where your body and mind can soften and restore. This is a time to set intentions, release what no longer serves, and connect to the light within and around you.

No experience is necessary—simply come as you are and allow the sounds to carry you into a space of inner stillness and renewal.

A very special thanks to Abby Marin, founder of . Her support of my work and my excitement for all that she does feels like a perfect partnership and I am honored to be part of her Rest Events.

Attendees are asked to bring their own props. I suggest, at a minimum, a yoga mat and two blankets. I also encourage bringing a pillow, knee support, an eye pillow and warm layers, including socks. Anything and everything you need to relax. Comfort is most important. You can choose to lay on the floor or be seated, then you may close your eyes and let the sounds carry you to where you need to go.

Investment: $55

She is a junior board member for the Wind Willow Consortium, a non-profit that brings sound to the community to help educate them on benefits of this healing modality.

Kara incorporates tuning forks, Tibetan singing bowls ,crystal bowls and a myriad of other instruments to bring the body into a deep state of relaxation, allowing the body to rest, recover and heal. She has worked with educational institutions such as Michigan State University, Western Michigan University, and Kalamazoo Public Schools. She has shared her work with the Michigan Bureau of Blind Services, various wellness programs throughout the community and has collaborated with teachers to bring sound to schools and introduce youth to sound and mindfulness.
