November Shelby Bottoms Sound Bath ft. Upright Bass & Crystal Bowls
About this Event
Join us for a rejuvenating Sound Bath Experience at Shelby Bottoms Nature Center, nestled in the heart of East Nashville's lush greenway. As the day winds down, immerse yourself in an evening of restorative sound led by John Paul, a certified professional sound healing practitioner.
We're returning to the fundamentals of sound healing. Rather than an expansive palette of instruments, this month's journey centers on the timeless beauty of long, sustained, swirling harmonies created by quartz crystal singing bowls. These rich, resonant tones gently unfold over time, inviting your nervous system to soften, your breath to deepen, and your mind to settle into profound stillness. Complemented by the warm, grounding resonance of upright bass, subtle chimes, and the peaceful sounds of nature, this immersive experience is designed to create a spacious environment for deep relaxation.
Surrounded by the natural beauty of Shelby Bottoms, you'll be invited to release stress, quiet the mind, and reconnect with your inner calm. The gentle chorus of birds, rustling leaves, and evening breezes naturally weaves together with the singing bowls, creating a meditation that feels both deeply rooted and effortlessly expansive.
Whether you're new to sound healing or a seasoned practitioner of mindfulness, this event offers a chance to slow down, return to simplicity, and experience the profound healing that can arise from sustained sound and intentional presence. No experience is required—only a willingness to rest, reset, and restore.
What to Bring:
Your comfort is an important part of the experience. The Nature Center has a hardwood floor, so we strongly recommend bringing a padded yoga mat if you plan to lie down. A blanket alone may not provide enough cushioning; extra padding and a pillow can help you settle in comfortably.
- Padded yoga mat, with an extra blanket or cushion for added comfort
- Lawn chair or zero-gravity chair, if you prefer to sit or recline—you're welcome to bring your own
- Pillow or eye covering (optional)
- Water bottle
- Comfortable clothing
When should I arrive?
The sound bath begins at 4:00 PM. Please consider arriving 10–20 minutes early to give yourself plenty of time to get settled and prepared.
Accessibility Notice:
The Nature Center is wheelchair accessible. You’re welcome to enjoy the sound bath seated in a chair or lying on your own padded mat. Chairs are available, and you may also bring your own lawn chair or zero-gravity chair for greater comfort.
Train Sounds & Natural Noise:
We’ve found that the occasional train and natural sounds from the surroundings add to the unique experience at Shelby Bottoms. Open windows may also invite in the sounds of children playing, conversations in the park, birds singing, and the surrounding greenway.
