Meditation & Sound Bath

For many of us, our sympathetic nervous systems are in overdrive. Many people are experiencing anxiety and overwhelm. Join us for an experience of wellness in community. We'll tend to our nervous systems using practices of gentle stretching, guided meditation and a sound bath. No experience necessary.

What to Bring:

Please bring a yoga mat (a blanket will be fine if you don't have a yoga mat), pillow, blanket, water and whatever else you may need for your comfort (extra blankets, eye pillow, bolster, etc). We will be lying down for the majority of our experience together. Chairs will be available for those who prefer not to lie down. A limited number of bolsters and blankets will be available.

What to Wear:

Wear comfortable clothing - sweatpants, leggings, t-shirts, and sweatshirts are just fine! Dress with your comfort in mind. We will remove our shoes. Please note that we will be in a heated yoga studio.

Flow of Events:

• We'll start with a grounding practice, welcome and check-in to create the space for our community
• We'll spend time reflecting on 2022 and visioning for 2023 (through a writing exercise)
• Then we'll move into a breathing exercise together
• Finish with a sound bath
• Conclude and close the circle

What is a Sound Bath?

In general, a sound bath is a meditative experience where those in attendance are “bathed” in the healing vibration of sound waves. These waves are produced by various sources, including metal and crystal singing bowls, percussion, chimes, rattles, other instruments and even the human voice itself. For this experience, I will mostly be using metal and crystal singing bowls.

Covid Protocols:

What Else:

If possible, please arrive up to 15 minutes early so that you can sign in, get situated just how you'd like, and spend a moment in "Earth Mama," my big grounding bowl that you step in to help settle your body down and prepare for the experience.
