  • A sacred sound bath is a healing experience where participants are immersed in the sounds of improvised music using singing bowls, drums, chimes, chanting and the didgeridoo.
  • From basic relaxation to deep penetrating healing, sound is a like a sonic frequency that is carried to every part of the body.
  • It energizes, boosts the immune system, tunes the nervous system, reduces stress, and heightens consciousness.
  • In this relaxing, yet powerful workshop you can experience the many physical, mental, emotional and spiritual benefits a sacred sound bath has to offers.
