Join Leah and Zia for a soothing grounding welcome to Winter. Enjoy a slow 30 minute flow with Leah, followed by a 60 minute sound bath with Zia. This is a dynamic experience you do not want to miss! Take a break from the shopping and hustle bustle to celebrate the Solstice.
A soundbath is an improvised live concert of ambient sound vibrations that shift the listener’s body and consciousness into deep relaxation and restorative biological states, offering a mini-retreat from the busy outside world. Many people attend soundbaths to reduce the effects of stress and clear tension or blockages in the mind/body/emotions/spirit, in order to feel cleansed and replenished.
Zia’s soundbaths currently include crystal bowls and vocal toning, and sometimes additionally: gentle and potent sea-drums, gongs, rattles, or other ambient instruments, to take you into a meditative state to help creative and pleasurable experiences open up, and fundamentally, to help anxiety and stress fade and our bodies’ natural restorative functions to flourish.
Date & Time: Friday, December 20th, 7:30-9 pm.
Cost: $30
