Sound Immersion with Onyi Love
Host: Onyi Love
Info: Sound as Medicine. Vibration as Portal. Enter a sacred space where sound opens pathways to healing, remembrance, and deep inner alignment. Experience the transformative power of voice, vibration, and elemental frequencies to nourish your whole being. Held within a high-resonance container, Sound Immersion is a sonic sanctuary where Onyi's voice, honed through over 20 years as a trained musician, vocalist, and performing artist, weaves with elemental tones, sacred instruments, and intuitive frequencies to create immersive soundscapes that move through the body and beyond. This is not background music or ambient tone. It is a living, practiced, spirit-led sonic art, offered by a healer who is also a musician in the fullest sense of the word. We recommend folks dress in and/or bring whatever they feel will support their comfort for the experience--yoga mat, blanket, or portable floor chair., etc.
