About this Event
Fall Equinox: A Journey of Rhythm, Sound & Rest
As summer begins to soften into fall and the hours of daylight grow shorter, the Fall Equinox offers a natural moment to pause.
It is a season traditionally associated with balance, harvest, gratitude, and reflection, a chance to appreciate what the brighter, more active months have brought into our lives, release what we no longer need to carry, and create space for the quieter season ahead.
Join us for a special Fall Equinox experience with Toby Christensen, The Healing Drummer; musician and sound healing practitioner, Annie Carenbauer musician and sound healing practitioner; and Soullective founder Emily Sabounchi.
Together, we’ll move through a restorative journey of rhythm and sound designed to reflect the transition of the season.
Guests will experience the journey lying comfortably on a yoga mat, allowing the sounds and rhythms to move around and through the space. No previous experience with meditation, sound baths, or similar practices is needed.
What to Bring: We encourage you to bring anything that will help you feel especially comfortable while lying down, such as a yoga mat, a blanket, pillow, bolster, warm socks, or an eye mask.
How to Prepare:
Wear comfortable attire. If you are unable to lay down for a long period of time, please let us know so we may prepare a chair for a seated session.
