Sacred Sound Bath:
Healing and Meditation
On every 2 weeks
Friday's at 7pm - 8:30pm
In the frequencies of the session, the body remembers that beneath the noise of life lies peace, an invitation to return to stillness.
As you comfortably lay on a yoga mat with cushions and blankets, you start to gently ground through a guided meditation. The atmosphere is intentially peaceful and sacred to warmly hold you as you are. Every session is different as every moment in life is simultaneously a birth and a death, an inhale and an exhale, a fullness and an emptiness.
