Program Description:
Join us for a seasonal gathering honoring the new moon—a time for fresh beginnings, reflection, and setting intentions. Over the course of an hour, you’ll be gently guided into a state of deep relaxation and inner peace.
In this intimate circle, Catherine and Mario lead you through a soothing meditation, while the harmonious tones of singing bowls, gong, and other sound healing instruments create a rich sonic backdrop that resonates with your soul.
We begin promptly at 4 PM, so please arrive 5-10 minutes early to settle in and get comfortable. The session will end at 5 PM, but you’re welcome to stay as long as you like afterward to connect with other community members. We will have a community meal following the sound bath, as a wonderful way to deepen connection.
What is a sound bath?
A sound bath is a deeply immersive, full body listening experience that uses various sound tools including gongs, Tibetan singing bowls, chimes, crystal bowls and other healing instruments to stimulate therapeutic and restorative healing for the mind, body, and spirit. A sound bath can recalibrate the body, turning off the sympathetic nervous system — which is best known for its role in responding to dangerous or stressful situations — and stimulating the parasympathetic nervous system, which is how bodies naturally repair and heal. The idea is to “bathe” in waves of sound to balance and unblock the body’s energy centers.
What are the benefits of a sound bath?
May reduce stress and anxiety
May improve sleep and deepen relaxation
May boost energy, clarity and focus
Can reduce physical pain as sound vibrations penetrate deep into the body
And so much more as each person responds differently to sound!
