Cathedral of Light | Summer Sound Healing

As summer shines its golden light, nature reaches its peak - warm, abundant, and alive with energy. Join us for a deeply nourishing sound healing experience at the stunning St. Paul’s Cathedral in San Diego, where the vibrant spirit of summer invites you to slow down, reconnect, and restore from within.

On Saturday, August 29, immerse yourself in a 90-minute journey of deep relaxation and renewal. Let your senses be guided by the harmonious blend of violin, crystal singing bowls, gongs, chimes, stringed instruments, drums, hanpand, didgeridoo, and more - crafted by skilled sound artists and healers to bring balance and peace to your mind, body, and soul.

Surrender to serenity amid the sacred beauty of the cathedral and allow sound and stillness to carry you inward. Watch this video sneak peek! 👀

Cathedral of Light is more than a personal healing experience - it’s a call to community care. We're hosting a donation drive to assist Humble Design San Diego, an organization that restores dignity and stability by furnishing homes for families and individuals emerging from homelessness.
