Sound Bath

A sound bath is a unique experience that allows you to release tension and immerse yourself in the sound. Each individual will experience the sound in their own unique way, taking them on a personal journey. The sound is created by different instruments, each with its own sonic room.

The experience begins with the gentle softness of the Himalayan bowls. The sound is soothing and helps to lower your brainwaves into a gentle alpha state. From there, you move into the sonic room of the gongs. The sound is more physical and can be felt throughout your body.

Next, you enter the cool, clear, and linear world of the crystal bowls. The sound helps to bring clarity and transports you into a cooling zone. Finally, percussion instruments are played to bring you back from your journey.

Sound has the ability to work on physical, mental and emotional levels. During a sound bath, all you have to do is lay there and be open to receiving the benefits. So, take some time for yourself and try a sound bath to experience the unique journey of sound.

The Kitchen Social – Catering

We will have a variety of mouth-watering options creating a delicious and wholesome meal plan.
