About this Event
In these uncertain times, we invite furloughed government workers to join us for a free community sound bath—a peaceful space to rest, release stress, and restore balance. Surrounded by soothing vibrations, you’ll be held in compassion and care as you take a much-needed pause for yourself. All are welcome to breathe, relax, and receive the healing sounds.
To fully enjoy the sound bath, we encourage guests to bring items that will help them feel relaxed and supported while lying down or sitting on the floor. Suggested items include:
- Yoga mat or cushioned mat for your base
- Pillow or bolster to support your head, neck, or lower back
- Blanket or shawl to stay cozy as your body relaxes and temperature naturally cools
- Eye covering (like an eye mask or scarf) to help deepen relaxation
- Water bottle to stay hydrated
We recommend wearing comfortable, loose-fitting clothing that allows you to fully relax and breathe with ease. Creating your own cozy setup will allow you to rest deeply and receive the full benefit of the healing sounds.
