Sound Bath Meditation

An in-person meditative sound journey to support your mind, body & spirit to find inner balance as we approach the autumnal equinox.

Gather together for a soothing sonic journey to refresh you as we welcome the Autumn Equinox.

Come together in community as we approach the equinox, for a small group practice to cultivate balance in your body, mind and spirit.

Through the use of voice, singing bowls, bells, rattles, drums and other instruments, you'll be guided through an inner journey to support you.

We will create a sacred space for inner reflection and physical relaxation. We start with words of intention, and then we enter the journey through the breath and body. Let the journey guide you in to your inner world, and allow the sounds to support you.

  4. And anything else to get cozy and relaxed (water bottle, eye pillow, etc.)

"Nick created such a warm and inviting space, and set us up for an intentional, meditative, and relaxing experience. As he guided us through our sound bath, I left the worries of my day behind and simply immersed myself in the gentle music he played. While the singing bowls, ambient sounds, and were amazingly beautiful, the koshi chimes were my absolute favorite! I would definitely recommend this experience to any and everyone I know! " - P. K., previous attendee

What is a sound bath?

A sound bath is an immersive sound experience using a variety of instruments to take you on an inner journey. Many instruments create sounds that allow the mind to relax and unwind, with steady rhythms or drones. Other sounds are used to wake the mind and spirit, or perhaps loosen and release stuck energies.

Nick creates sound bath experiences on the basis of Nada Yoga.

Nada Yoga is the process of the union of the individual mind with cosmic consciousness through the flow of sounds.

Moving into and through the process of a sound bath can create a wide range of internal experiences - peace, pleasure, discomfort, bliss, sorrow, joy, or euphoria. Often people report visual imagery, like in a dream. All of these experiences are OK and supported to increase awareness of the mind and spirit.

A sound bath is not a concert nor a performance. It is an improvisational flow of the practitioner in communion with the attendees.
