Sound Bath in a Beautiful Berkeley Chapel

2nd Thursdays | 7:30–9:00 PM | Berkeley, CA Doors open at 7:30 PM • Sound begins promptly at 7:45

Stressed? Wired? Longing to reset?

This isn’t just another night out—it’s a night in. Into your body. Into your breath. Into a sound sanctuary where rest is sacred and stillness is healing.

Under the glow of stunning stained-glass windows in a peaceful, non-denominational Berkeley church, we gather once a month to pause, soften, and return to ourselves.

This sound bath is your invitation to experience the science and magic of sound as medicine—a chance to move out of stress and into a state of balance, calm, and clarity.

Led by Certified Mindfulness Meditation Teacher Erica Skone-Rees, with live music by Bryce Mulholland and Shannon Hopkins, each session includes:

✔ A grounding meditation to help you arrive✔ An immersive sound journey to calm the nervous system✔ Live instruments: crystal & Tibetan singing bowls, hand pans, guzheng (Chinese harp), acoustic guitar, frame drum, Koshi bells & more✔ A quiet, supportive space where you’re free to rest, move gently, or simply be

Scientific studies show that sound baths can help:

• Lower cortisol (stress hormone)
• Improve sleep and focus
• Support emotional clarity
• Activate the body’s natural healing response

Bring anything that helps you feel cozy and supported:

• Yoga mat, camping pad, or cushions
• Blanket, pillow, eye mask, or bolster
• Water or layers for warmth

You’re welcome to lie down, sit up, or move gently—whatever feels wise for your body. If you need to shift during the experience, we simply ask that you move toward the back or side aisles.
