Experience a restorative sound bath that blends meditation with the resonant tones of Himalayan singing bowls, gongs, kyeezees, and voice. The session invites gentle relaxation, opens the heart, uplifts the spirit, and supports a shift in consciousness through vibration. Guided by Kat, a seasoned sound practitioner with decades of experience, participants are immersed in the soothing interplay of gong and singing bowls in a heart-centered setting. Early-bird admission is $20, regular admission is $25, and seniors 65 and older are $15. Space is limited, and prepaid tickets receive priority for floor spots with Svaroopa yoga blankets. If floor space is full, drop-ins may be seated in chairs.
