Incorporating Sound Healing, Guided Meditation, and Somatic Sensing. Expect this experience to be a beautifully woven journey through the elements and beyond.
What to expect:
With the use of Binaural Beats sound technology, including Brain Waves, Theta, and Alpha frequencies, you will be guided into a deep and relaxing flow state. Ben Last will work his sonic wizardry using Ableton Live, Effects, and Midi controller keyboards to create a multi-layered sound bed that infuses a cinematic soundtrack with elemental soundscape. Each element - Earth, Air, Fire, Water, and Ether - will be correlated to chakra-tuned root notes, facilitating deep integration, transformation, and renewal within you.
Madhu Honey will add her multilayered voice, guiding you through with meditation and percussion, adding another layer to this rich and immersive experience. Together, Ben Last and Madhu Honey will create a synergistic fusion of sound and energy that will leave you feeling rejuvenated, refreshed, and deeply connected to yourself and the world around you.

Arrival: Endeavour to arrive between 5:45pm - 6:00pm. To preserve the experience for all involved, doors will close at 6:15pm. Truly, it breaks our heart to have to turn latecomers away yet the disruption to the whole group experience by virtue of lateness does require management. We ask that you find understanding and consideration for the timebound nature of the container and make every effort to arrive on time.
