City Calm: A Sound Bath on The Greenway

Step away from the pace of the city and into an intentional hour of deep rest, nervous system reset, and immersive sound.

Join us for an outdoor sound bath experience on Boston’s Greenway, where crystal singing bowls, chimes, and other therapeutic instruments create a layered field of sound designed to support relaxation, grounding, and inner quiet. This is not a performance. It is a guided rest experience where you are invited to simply arrive, settle in, and receive.

Led by certified sound therapy practitioner and licensed psychologist, Dr. Joann Toporowski, this experience blends clinical understanding of stress physiology with immersive sound healing to support deep restoration and regulation of the nervous system.

You will be guided into a comfortable resting position and gently supported through a 60-minute sound immersion. Many participants experience deep relaxation, mental quieting, emotional release, or a sense of reset.

You do not need any prior meditation or sound bath experience to attend.
