Group Sound Bath Exercise with Lorianna Steel presented by Piggly Wiggly
Experience deep relaxation and stress relief through the power of vibrational sound.

In this immersive session led by holistic wellness expert Lorianna Steel, you’ll unwind as calming tones from singing bowls, chimes, and tuning forks gently wash over you. This isn’t a performance—it’s a guided experience designed to help you feel centered, grounded, and fully present.

Sound healing works by using vibrations to regulate the nervous system, release built-up tension, and promote emotional well-being. Many participants report feeling lighter, clearer, and more in tune with themselves afterward. Let the noise of the world fade as you reconnect with your inner calm. Come as you are, and leave feeling refreshed and renewed.

2:15 PM – 3:00 PM
