In this 2-hour session, we'll dim the lights and screen meditative epic film, Lemony Snicket’s: A Series of Unfortunate Events . As the story unfolds, the sound practitioner will weave in a customized sound bath, synchronizing healing frequencies with key moments in the film. The sounds will amplify emotions, release tension, and create a multisensory experience that blends passive viewing with active meditation. Whether you're a sound bath novice or a film enthusiast, this event offers a fresh way to unwind and connect with yourself and others in a shared, serene space.
