Sound bath is a meditative experience where attendees are “bathed” in sound waves. These waves are produced by a variety of means, including healing instruments such as gongs, himalayan singing bowls, crystal singing bowls, percussion, chimes, rattles, tuning forks, shruti boxes, and even the human voice.
Sound meditation doesn’t always have a catchy melody or rhythm one would associate with going to a concert, but instead is a carefully selected wash of instrument and voice with notable resonance and overtones. During the sound meditation, participants lie on their backs—sometimes referred to as the Savasana position in yoga—for the entire experience as Ellie and Matthew weave together sounds which bathe participants as they tune the mind for healing.
Join us for an evening of meditation and sound bathing. We'll gather together in the Great Hall; you bring you and anything you need to be cozy (yoga mat, blanket, pillow, eye mask, etc) and we'll bring the sound. We'll begin with an orientation to the space, then a guided meditation designed to help you get back into your body. We'll move into an hour of sound bathing using gongs, crystal bowls, flutes, shruti boxes, drums, and voice. We then bring you back to the room to wake up or come-to slowly. Sound bath participants report feeling more relaxed in mind and body, improved sleep, and an overall sense of well being.
This is an inclusive class for any body, and everybody.
Pre-registration is required. $45, $35 for garden members
