Sound Journey and Poetic Expression Workshop

In a nutshell: As National Poetry Month nears its end, I invite you to step away from the chatter and into the quiet recesses of your mind with an hour long meditative sound journey infused with poetic word. Afterwards we'll have time to write about what bubbles up, with prompts if needed, accompanied by light meditative sounds, herbal tea and snacks. Then we'll take time for sharing what we've penned and affirming our creative potential. Open to writers of all levels, including those who have never written before and and have a desire to be reflective.

About Sound Journeys: Sound journeys bathe or massage our bodies, minds and spirits with healing sounds. This can help our noisy "monkey minds" get quiet as we shift to a Theta brainwave state from our usual Beta and Alpha states. This is where we relax deeply and experience peace and healing on a cellular level. Some people report physical, emotional, mental or spiritual shifts, such as pain relief, improved sleep, sense of clarity, calm, release of tension, feeling revitalized and much more.

What to expect: Plan on relaxing in a way that ordinary life can make it hard to do. Come with an open mind and heart and a journal. You will be asked to close your eyes to help you focus only on the sounds; please let me know if this is uncomfortable for you and we can make adjustments. You may want to bring an eye mask and I will also have a few available.

Need to know: Please do not wear any perfumes or cologne to this event, as some may be allergic. Please arrive 10-15 minutes before the start time so that you can prepare for the experience, and silence your phone before entering. Understand that late arrivals will not be admitted once the sound journey has begun, out of respect for the group's experience. If the door is closed, please do not knock and disturb the session.

Please bring: a yoga mat, blanket and any pillows or cushions you may want to be comfortable laying down. (I will have some backups in case someone forgets or is missing something.) Let me know if you need any accommodations so that you may be comfortable. Sitting upright is acceptable.

I f you have any medical conditions that may be negatively impacted by sound or vibrations, please consult your health care professional before signing up. These may include pregnancy (first trimester), epilepsy triggered by sound, tumors, metal implants, or mental health diagnoses that may be triggered by intense sounds.

This is an adult only event. Please see my website for youth-friendly offerings. resoundingwell.com

Sorry, no refunds unless at least 72 hours notice of cancelation is given.

About the practitioner: While I have been writing poetry nearly my whole life, becoming a Sound Practitioner has been a calling that I never expected. It is such a delight for me to bring the power of sound vibrations to others and witness the profound impact it has. I have taken accredited practitioner coursework in sound healing and continue to study the alchemy of sound and integral sound healing with the widely acclaimed international Sound Healing Academy. I have also been an educator for 28 years.

What some people are saying:

"Annmarie does an astounding job at creating a beautiful and seamless vibrational meditation through her sound bath. The sound vibration allowed me to get into and stay in a deeper meditation than I could possibly do on my own without years of meditation practice. After her sound bath I felt renewed and relaxed in a way that I haven’t felt in months."--Andee

"It was the most relaxing experience of my life!! Annmarie's sound magic made me feel like I was transformed onto a beach with the waves rolling in and out and not a care in the world. You don't just hear the sounds, you feel it. So joyful! The experience fully immersed both my mind and my body..." --Jill

Sound bath was amazing- completely immersive experience creating a meditative healing. Annmarie is a gifted maestro bringing together nature sounds, vibration and affirmations allowing a treat for the soul." --John
