New Year’s Day Sound Bath: A Fresh Start Bathed in Birdsong & Purpose

Start the new year in the most gentle and restorative way — in stillness, in community, and in the spirit of our beloved feathered friends who greet each morning bathed in song.

Join DC Bird Alliance for a New Year’s Day Sound Bath led by Dante Baker. This nature-inspired, calming and intentional experience is designed to center your body, quiet your mind, and open your heart to the year ahead.

Just as birds greet each dawn with clarity and purpose, this offering invites you to release the weight of the past year and step into 2026 grounded, renewed, and aligned.

No experience is needed — only a desire to welcome the new year with grace.

What to Bring

• Yoga mat or blanket - there are also mats and props at the studio
• Comfortable clothing
• Water
• An open heart and gentle intentions

Why New Year’s Day?

Birds begin each morning with clarity — they sing not to perform, but to orient themselves to the world. This New Year’s Day, we invite you to do the same.

Come rest in sound, breathe deeply, and rise into 2026 refreshed, renewed, and ready to soar.
