A special gathering in the forest on a late Spring evening to get your evening off to a relaxing start.
You're invited to arrive at 6:45pm for a short stroll through the forest. A beautiful opportunity to stretch your legs, fill your lungs with forest air and tune into the birdsong all around.
We'll then return to the cosy Oak Lodge building for an ocean based visualisation and an ocean themed sound bath - be transported by guided meditation and sound to the sea.
Ending our evening with refreshments - herbal teas and delicious bakes from our local cakery Puddin. We'll finish around 9pm.
What is an ocean waves sound bath?
These unique sessions are designed to combine for you the therapeutic benefits of the sound of the ocean with a live instrumentation sound bath.
A sound bath is a full body listening experience where you can simply rest and see where the live instrumental soundscape takes you. For these sessions you can choose to sit in a chair or lay down and simply rest and listen.
I’ll offer a short, guided visualisation to take you to the ocean in your mind, and then share with you a sound bath using sound therapy instruments such as voice, ocean wave drum, gongs, singing bowls, drum, monochord and chimes. High quality recordings of soft ocean sounds will be playing gently throughout.
This session offers:
*A live, immersive instrumental soundscape.
*A supportive space for rest (or sleep if that is what is needed.)
*Time for yourself away from demands of every day life and technology.
*Opportunity to tune in to your inner voice and needs.
Potential benefits for you:
*Regulation of your nervous system.
*Processing of thoughts and emotions.
*Deep and restorative relaxation.
*Release of stress, muscular tension and/or stuck emotions.
*Insights, creativity and accessing intuition.
*A better night's sleep.
For your comfort one yoga mat, a fluffy rug and an eye pillow will be available for your use.
In addition please bring anything else to help you be at ease sitting laying on the floor, whatever you feel that you may need which might include:
Something to lay on that is padded, this could be an exercise or yoga mat, roll out camping mattress, sun lounger cushion or similar
Blankets
Pillow / cushion - these will not be provided so please bring your own! Chairs are available should you prefer to sit.
Considerations - A sound meditation is relaxing for most guests, however sound is powerful and has the potential to evoke memories and emotions. With this in mind it is generally understood that coming to a sound bath may not be suitable for you if you experience any of the following: sound induced epilepsy, a pacemaker fitted, acute/severe mental health concerns, are in crisis, experiencing active addiction, Meniere's or any health condition triggered by sound, or if you are in the first trimester of pregnancy. It is also common to drift to sleep at times in a sound bath so a group session will not be the right setting if you experience sleep apnoea. Should any of these apply to you please get in touch as soon as possible for a confidential discussion so you can decide if this experience is right for you.
Sound can sometimes be emotive, often shifting and releasing emotions which is always supported within the space. If you are experiencing active trauma or a particularly challenging circumstance in your life you might like to keep this in mind, perhaps considering whether this is the right time for you to receive a session in a group setting. Please do reach out in confidence to let me know of anything I could possibly support you with during or after the session.
