Sound Bath Healing
Wednesday - May 13th
6:30 PM to 7:30 PM

Experience deep relaxation through the soothing power of sound. A sound bath is a meditative practice where you are immersed in calming vibrations from instruments such as crystal singing bowls, chimes, and gongs. Simply lie back or sit comfortably as the sounds wash over you, helping to release stress, quiet the mind, and restore balance.
No prior meditation experience is needed—just bring yourself, an open mind, and the willingness to relax. You must bring a mat to lie down, plus an eye mask and small pillow and blanket.
