REST & RECEIVE

Join Sofia for a candle lit, deeply restorative & cosy evening.
Our January 4th Sound bath will honour the year we are leaving behind & welcome in the cycle of the seasons before us.
The festive period can often feel hectic & full, taking us out of our usual rhythm, so it felt a beautiful time to offer an evening of restfullness.
Allowing us to pause & slow down ~ Attuning to the energies of deep winter.
Sound baths are a gentle practice, that requires no ‘doing,’ to receive it’s benefits.
Be held within a tapestry of rich resonant & harmonious tones, with the symphonic gong oozing primordial & cosmic sounds, creating a live soundscape, woven together with other instruments, that welcome you to drop into a sense of timelessness.
Spoken word will guide the mind into a soft receptive state, shared at the start & end of the session, whilst sound from an array of instruments will take up the majority of the time.

As our body & mind is bathed in oscillating waves of sound, this promotes a relaxed state of consciousness to arise, allowing our brain to travels between different wave states.
Scientific evidence shows that the specific frequencies & resonances of healing instruments effect us on a molecular level & can speed up healing of many kinds. Clearing stagnant energy, allowing our nervous system to release & welcoming a more holistic state of balance into the body.
Sound baths are particularly supportive for stress related issues, anxiety, sleep difficulties, hyper tension, busy minds & more.

Everybody’s experience of a sound bath will differ & no two sound baths are ever the same!
What sounds we share ~ When & How ~ Always depend on the session, the season, the space & energy of the group.

We will weave together the power of the Gong, Tibetan, crystal & alchemy singing bowls, drums, rattles, swinging chimes, rain stick, tuning forks & some other sound making surprises.
