Death + the Sound | An Sound Immersion honoring Death + Life

Please join us for evening of honoring what is inevitable, to acknowledge the anxiety or ambivalence that commonly envelopes us when we think about our own death. During this session, allow yourself to embrace the idea while being held by the love, the safety and the healing of sound.

With this practice, we are setting ourselves up for peace. Wrapped in sound, we are open to contemplate our mortality, finding peace in a space that otherwise filled with so many other feelings and emotions.

This is an invitation to wrap yourself in the safety of love and community and to take time to think about the fact that we all will die, by acknowledging death and how that acknowledgement will inform us on how we will continue to live?

This evening will begin with a death mediation followed by a sound immersion.

During the Sound Immersion, various instruments such as Tibetan singing bowls, crystal bowls and gongs (and so much more), will fill the space, allowing you to move into a state of deep relaxation. In this place, you body is offered the opportunity to release stress, relax, and connect to your higher self.

The space where the quiet lies. In the stillness, your own clarity.

Attendees are asked to bring their own props. I suggest, at a minimum, a yoga mat and two blankets. I also encourage bringing a pillow, knee support, an eye pillow and warm layers, including socks. Anything and everything you need to relax. Comfort is most important. You can choose to lay on the floor or be seated, then you may close your eyes and let the sounds carry you to where you need to go.

Investment: $50
