About this Event
Join sound meditation facilitator Jay Taylor for a series of hour-long immersive experiences inside Pepper Family Wildlife Center. Lie back and relax as his singing bowls enter the sonic landscape; you will be guided through some light breathing, easing you into a meditative state. Following the meditation, the instructor will share some final thoughts on the experience.
This is an ages 16+ event and is recommended for guests who can be peaceful and still for up to 60 minutes. No previous experience, training, or beliefs are required to participate and receive benefits from this offering. Plan to bring a mat, blanket, pillow, and eye covering, and/or wear comfortable clothing to contribute to your complete relaxation. Please try to arrive by 8:45 a.m. to set up your space.
