Mid-Year Alignment: Sound Bath with 2 Cellos

What is Sound Bath?

A sound bath is an immersive listening experience. Attendees will be guided through a meditation accompanied by the healing frequencies of crystal sound bowls. The sound bowls' vibrations bring harmony to the body's energy centers and also have a calming effect on the brain waves which helps usher you to a meditative state. The result is a deeply restful and rejuvenating journey, a welcome counterbalance to our busy lives.
