Join us on this journey to support deep relaxation, reduce stress, and promote mental and emotional wellbeing. We will start with gentle movement led by Ari, and her support getting nested into a comfortable space. Maureen will guide us through a meditation to transition towards rest, followed by a 60 minute sound bath. We will end with an optional space to have tea and connect, or to linger quietly to integrate the experience.
Sound baths are a way to take a pause, ground your energy and let the vibrations bring you back to the present moment. Quartz crystal singing bowls create, slow, and resonant sound waves that calm the nervous system, lower brain waves and support a deep meditative state, restoring balance to the your body’s chakra energy centers.
Lying down in a comfortable position is suggested but chairs will be available for anyone not comfortable on the floor. Sessions are for relaxation, not medical treatment, and require participants to take personal responsibility for their health. Bring whatever you need to get super cozy, including your favorite cozy socks, blankets, and/or pillows. Additional ‘nesting’ supplies are available at Rivertide.
Sound baths are generally safe, but individuals with specific health conditions should consult a doctor first, as the intense vibrations and sound frequencies may pose risks. People with epilepsy (especially sound-induced), severe mental health conditions, pacemakers, or those in their first trimester of pregnancy should exercise caution or avoid them.
Tickets are $30 with preregistration or $40 at the door. If this is a financial hardship for you, please reach out, as we have a limited number of half-price and free tickets on reserve, in reflection of our belief that rest and wellness are human rights.
