Sound Bath

Enrollment Details

Our central nervous system can become highly charged due to external forces. A sound bath meditation is a deep listening experience that uses sound to engage all of our senses, thereby helping to regulate our stress responses by enabling a sense of calm, deep relaxation, and creative visualization. 

In this workshop, music psychotherapist and sound practitioner Katie Down (MT-BC, LCAT) encourages deep listening through the use of a variety of therapeutic musical drone instruments—including various types of singing bowls, tuning forks, monochords, shruti box, percussion, and voice—to help facilitate a physical and emotional release, connection, and awareness.

Here, sound is a focal point which illuminates the idea that everything is made of vibration, and in the act of listening we are able to self-heal, connect deeply with one another, and create new neural-pathways for our inherent well-being and equanimity.

If the workshop takes place in person, we will enjoy a delicious Ayurvedic meal together!
