About this Event
Oreka Sound is a 90-minute immersive and restorative experience that uses breath and sound to invite therapeutic effects to the mind and body. This sound therapy session begins with guided breathing and vocal toning, activating the parasympathetic nervous system and gently preparing participants for deep listening. As we shift our awareness to our auditory senses, our brain waves slow, activating the glymphatic system—the brain’s mechanism for flushing out toxins and waste.
This is followed by a gradual, continuous, and progressive sequence of tonal centers and harmonic shifts using crystal singing bowls and various other instruments. These harmonic shifts of tension and release help guide us into a deeper state of consciousness, where we not only experience profound relaxation but are also inspired to engage in self-inquiry and self-discovery—restoring the mind and body to a state of oreka.
