Monthly Sound Bath Experience

Third Monday of Each Month, 7:00pm
Registration Required: Register Online
Join Sound Practitioner and Reiki Master, Genevieve Deely, for a unique meditative experience for adults using the healing sounds of crystal singing bowls to soothe the mind, body and soul. A sound bath is a meditative experience allowing those in attendance to be immersed in calming and healing sound waves. As half of the human body is made up of water and water is an excellent conductor of sound, there is very little effort on your part to experience the healing effects of sound.

Sound Baths are experiences that may help reduce stress of all kinds and induce deeper connection to one’s inner world. Genevieve will lead participants through this unique experience using the healing sounds of crystal singing bowls and chanting to soothe the mind, body and soul.

Participants can be in a seated position or lying down. If you choose to lie down, it is most important you bring a yoga mat, blanket and pillow to be comfortable during the hour.

Classes operate on a donation basis. Please consider giving up to $10 a class to go directly to the program leader (cash/check/venmo).
