About this Event
🦋 Guided Meditation + Soothing Sounds for All Ages
Float into a world of wonder with your whole family as we journey together beneath the Marshmallow Moon. This family-friendly sound bath blends gentle guided meditation with enchanting sounds of crystal bowls, chimes, and gongs.
Inspired by the Monarch butterfly migration, our "journey" takes you on a whimsical flight—imagining wings opening, breezes carrying you, and the joy of moving freely with the flow of nature. Children will delight in the playful imagery, while adults can sink into relaxation and inner calm.
✨ Guided kid friendly meditation + live sound bath✨ All ages welcome — perfect for children, parents, caregivers and grandparents✨ A magical way to share stillness, imagination, and connection
Please know: we understand children may not be perfectly still or quiet, and that’s absolutely okay. This event is created with families in mind. For those seeking a more traditional, silent sound bath, our adult-only sessions may be a better fit.
Bring your mats, blankets, and anything cozy to nest into as sound and story weave a dreamy journey for the whole family. P.S. Pajamas welcome too!
Some Frequently asked questions:
What is a sound bath meditation?
A sound bath meditation is a deeply immersive experience where you’re “bathed” in soothing sound waves rather than water. Using instruments like crystal singing bowls, gongs, chimes, and other resonant tones, sound baths are designed to guide your mind and body into a state of deep relaxation and inner calm.Unlike traditional meditation, there’s no need to focus or “do” anything—just lie back, close your eyes, and let the sounds wash over you. These vibrations can help slow down brainwave activity, reduce stress, promote emotional release, and even support better sleep. Many people describe it as a dreamy reset for the nervous system.It’s a gentle, accessible practice—ideal for beginners and seasoned meditators alike.
​
What do I bring to a sound bath meditation?
We recommend bringing a yoga mat or something comfortable to lie on, such as a padded mat or sleeping pad. You may also want a blanket, pillow, or bolster for added comfort and warmth. An eye mask can help you relax more deeply. Wear cozy layers, as your body temperature may drop during deep relaxation.Most importantly, bring an open mind and a willingness to relax and receive. *ALso, if you are not comfortable laying on a the floor--bring a chair! Chairs are welcome too.
​
How long does a sound bath meditation last?
Most sessions last between 60 to 90 minutes, including a brief welcome, guided visualization, the sound bath itself, and time to gently return to waking awareness.
*Family / Kids events are sometimes shorter
​
Do I need any experience with meditation or yoga?
Not at all. Sound baths are perfect for beginners. There’s no movement required, and no experience needed—just the ability to relax and receive.
​
Can I sit up during the sound bath instead of lying down?
Yes. While most people lie down to fully relax, you're welcome to sit comfortably in a chair or meditation cushion if that works better for your body.
​
What if I fall asleep during the sound bath?
That’s totally normal and perfectly okay. Many people drift in and out of sleep during sound baths. Your subconscious mind still benefits from the experience.
​
What happens during a typical Marshmallow Moon Sound Bath event?
Each event begins with a brief welcome and guided meditation or visualization to help you settle in. Then, you’ll lie back and relax as sound waves from crystal bowls, gongs, chimes, and ambient layers wash over you. Some sessions also include visual projections for added immersion. The experience ends with gentle grounding and space to reawaken.
​
Are sound baths spiritual or religious?
Our sound baths are not tied to any specific religion or spiritual belief. They’re an inclusive, secular practice designed to support wellbeing through sound and relaxation.
​
Will there be guidance or narration during the sound bath?
Most of our sessions include narration and or guided visualization at the beginning to help ease you into the experience. After that, you’re gently immersed in sound without further verbal guidance.
