Therapies have risen to the forefront of natural healing modalities. Join us as we explore together how self-created sound and intentional listening practices open channels to personal healing and transformation. A gentle introduction to the science, philosophy, and spiritual resonance of sound healing informs each session.
Our time together will include sound baths, journaling exercises, and group sharing, and you will receive materials to help integrate your sonic experiences into your daily life.
