Friday, August 21, 7:00 – 8:30 p.m. CT
Settle into a transformative, deeply relaxing sound journey. A brief guided meditation opens the evening, gently leading you into a quiet inner space before you are immersed in sound. You’ll be bathed in a skillfully crafted soundscape featuring large titanium and bronze gongs, Himalayan singing bowls, handpan, didgeridoo, drums, shruti box, soothing vocals, and more—each instrument intentionally chosen to work in harmony with your nervous system. These woven rhythms and frequencies guide you into a profound state of relaxation while subtly restoring your entire system.
As the sounds wash over you, mental chatter softens, tension dissolves, and a sense of spacious stillness opens within. This is your invitation to deeply relax, turn inward, and allow the sound to carry you into an expanded state of awareness. Step into a tranquil, supportive space, and leave feeling renewed, centered, and deeply connected to the calm that resides within you.
Please bring a mat or blanket to lie on (pillow if you need one). Chairs are available for those who prefer not to lie on the floor.
$40 in advance, $45 at the door
