Relax, unwind, and reconnect at this special sound healing event. We’ll begin with a deeply restorative yoga nidra, (this is a guided meditation, no yoga poses), led by Alisa Woods and accompanied by the soothing guitar of Benjamin Mambou. From there, drift into the calming rhythms of ocean drums and an evocative cello-guitar duet.
The journey continues with a meditative cello sound bath, enhanced by gentle chanting. Let the music guide you—whether you're lying down, seated comfortably, or expressing yourself through interpretive dance.
Benjamin Mambou, originally from Cameroon, is a versatile multi-instrumentalist whose style bridges jazz, world, and fusion. Drawing on African polyrhythms, Brazilian grooves, and lyrical improvisation, his performances are both grounded and exploratory, inviting listeners into a global musical dialogue.
Alisa G. Woods, PhD, LMHC is a licensed psychotherapist, cellist, and community sound healer based in Potsdam, New York. She blends her background in neuroscience and mental health with the intuitive language of music to create immersive, restorative sound experiences. Through her project Northern Woods Cello Therapy, Alisa hosts monthly sound baths and collaborative performances that integrate cello, sound bowls, and world instruments to foster mindfulness, release, and connection. Her work invites participants to slow down, listen deeply, and rediscover harmony within themselves and the natural world.
Mats, blankets, and bolsters will be provided, though you are welcome to bring your own if you prefer. Chairs will also be available for those who wish to sit.
