About this Event

Join us for a rejuvenating Sound Bath Experience at Shelby Bottoms Nature Center, nestled in the heart of East Nashville's lush greenway. As the day winds down, immerse yourself in an evening of restorative sound led by John Paul, a certified professional sound healing practitioner.

This August, we're returning to the fundamentals of sound healing. Rather than an expansive palette of instruments, this month's journey centers on the timeless beauty of long, sustained, swirling harmonies created by quartz crystal singing bowls. These rich, resonant tones gently unfold over time, inviting your nervous system to soften, your breath to deepen, and your mind to settle into profound stillness. Complemented by the warm, grounding resonance of upright bass, subtle chimes, and the peaceful sounds of nature, this immersive experience is designed to create a spacious environment for deep relaxation.

Surrounded by the natural beauty of Shelby Bottoms, you'll be invited to release stress, quiet the mind, and reconnect with your inner calm. The gentle chorus of birds, rustling leaves, and evening breezes naturally weaves together with the singing bowls, creating a meditation that feels both deeply rooted and effortlessly expansive.

Whether you're new to sound healing or a seasoned practitioner of mindfulness, this event offers a chance to slow down, return to simplicity, and experience the profound healing that can arise from sustained sound and intentional presence. No experience is required—only a willingness to rest, reset, and restore.

What to Bring:

• Yoga mat or blanket
• Pillow or eye covering (optional)
• Water bottle
• Comfortable clothing

When should I arrive? The sound bath begins at 4pm, but please consider arriving 10-20 minutes early will give you time to get settled and prepared.
