Aloka — Sound Lab w. Graham Slick, A Weekly Nervous System Sound Bath
About this Event
Aloka — Sound Lab with Graham Slick
A Weekly Nervous System Practice
An hour and a half that belongs to your nervous system.
Sound Lab — a sound bath journey where we move our bodies, our breath, and our vibration. This is a journey intended to settle the nervous system and bring you back to yourself. A moment for you, in the company of friends.
This may be something you come back to as an element of your wellness regime, or it may become the weekly time you have for yourself, a return to self, a reminder with rhythm. It's a pretty big deal if you let it.
Bowls, breath, stillness. Leave lighter than when you arrived. New friends are warmly welcomed.
Sound Lab is part of the LAB series — Listen · Allow · Belong
THE PRACTICE
Graham works with the tools the body actually responds to — chosen and sequenced in real time, for the people in the room.
Somatic Movement — To release what the week has held.
Brahmari Pranayama — The humming breath, ancient and vagal.
EFT Tapping — To settle the limbic system.
Yoga Nidra — The threshold between waking and sleep, where deep repair happens.
Sound — Crystal bowls, Tibetan bowls, harmonium, voice. Vibration carried into tissue.
Energy Work — Held presence, hands, intention.
Stillness — The most powerful of them, used last.
You will not be performed at. You will be guided — with care, warmth, and an open heart — into a state of nervous system release and an opening into the profound. Brought back, gently, to a self that has been rung out, blissed out, and rearranged for the better. Most find what they need.
