Autumn Equinox Sound Journey Ceremony
About this Event
In a nutshell: The Autumnal Equinox is a time to acknowledge growth and expansion as our lives evolve and Earth begins to shift direction. As we transition from summer to fall in our northern hemisphere, we have equal day and night. This time of balance and equilibrium invites us to re-balance our interior lives with more reflection and harvesting of the gifts within us. Let this Sound Journey support this intention, as the guided meditation and instruments bring our minds, bodies and spirits into better alignment and reflection.
About Sound Journeys: Gongs, singing bowls and percussive instruments give us a "brain massage" and reset with their healing vibrations and sounds. This can help our noisy "monkey minds" get quiet as we shift to a Theta brainwave state from our usual Beta and Alpha states. We can relax more deeply than in our normal state of mind, and experience peace and healing on a cellular level. Chiron, a 32" planetary gong called the wounded healer, is especially potent for a deep release and recalibration. Some people report physical, emotional, mental or spiritual shifts, such as pain relief, improved sleep, sense of clarity, calm, release of tension, feeling revitalized and much more.
What to expect: Come with your intentions for deeper listening, releasing, being. Whatever is meant to happen for you will and whatever is not meant to happen will not.
Need to know: Please do not wear any perfumes or cologne to this event, as some may be allergic.
Note: There are 3 steps getting into the building. The only restroom is in the basement, requiring a flight of steps. There is no air conditioning. Come prepared. (In the case of high temperatures, this event will be postponed or cancelled with a full refund.)
Please arrive about 5-10 minutes before the start time to prepare for the experience, and silence your phone upon entering. Understand that late arrivals will not be admitted once the sound journey has begun, out of respect for the group's experience. If the door is closed, please do not knock and disturb the session.
Please bring: whatever makes you comfy either lying on laminate flooring for over an hour: a thick yoga or camping mat, (or even better is a chaise lounge cushion), or sitting reclined: a zero gravity chair is great. Also bring a blanket and any pillows or cushions you may want for support. I will have some bolsters for leg/back support for those who don't have one and lavender eye pillows. Let me know at least a day in advance if you need to borrow a floor chair or plan to bring a zero gravity/ folding reclining chair.
If you have any medical conditions that may be negatively impacted by sound or vibrations, please consult your health care professional before signing up. These may include pregnancy (first trimester), sound-induced epilepsy, or mental health diagnoses that may be triggered by intense sounds.
This session is open to adults and mature young adults only. Children love sound journeys too, so if you want to bring your young ones, please contact me to schedule a private family session.
A minimum of 5 participants is needed to hold this event. If fewer than 5 sign up, those who had signed up will be notified and refunded.
Refunds are possible until 72 hours before the event. To request a refund, please reach out to me. If you are not able to attend, consider giving your ticket to a friend to enjoy.

What some people are saying:
"Annmarie does an astounding job at creating a beautiful and seamless vibrational meditation through her sound bath.

After her sound bath I felt renewed and relaxed in a way that I haven’t felt in months."--Andee
"It was the most relaxing experience of my life!! Annmarie's sound magic made me feel like I was transformed onto a beach with the waves rolling in and out and not a care in the world. You don't just hear the sounds, you feel it. So joyful! The experience fully immersed both my mind and my body..." --Jill
