Flow Tide Sessions

Flow Tide Sessions is a monthly sound bath that invites you to meet what is present, building flexibility for both peaks and valleys rather than chasing constant calm or forced positivity. Settle into a zero gravity chair and let layered sound move around and through you, creating a floating, wave-like sensation that reminds your nervous system it can ride the swells and the stillness. This is a fully immersive experience, not background music. Crystal singing bowls, binaural frequencies, and simple breath cues work with your natural rhythms, honoring the lift and the drop. Gentle somatic prompts help you notice sensation, both comfortable and uncomfortable, and the unhurried pace gives space for whatever needs to shift. It is well suited for anyone tired of staying “on” all the time, athletes and movers who see recovery as nervous system adaptability, and people carrying real stress who want something more honest than toxic positivity. No experience is required, and the environment is designed to support deeper relaxation. Wear comfortable clothing you can lie down in, bring a favorite blanket if you tend to get cold, and bring water. Zero gravity chairs, bolsters, and eye masks are provided. Doors open 15 minutes before the session, and late entry can disturb the immersion. Capacity is limited to four participants to keep the space spacious and contained. This offering is not a substitute for medical care. If you have a pacemaker, sound sensitivity, or are in the first trimester of pregnancy, please check with your provider. Cancellations made at least 48 hours in advance receive a full refund. Payment is $57 via Venmo at @besachi3 to avoid fees, or register through the link. The session takes place at Somatelligence Studio, which is on the ground floor with restroom access, and parking is available on site and on the street.
