YOU WANT TO:

• Feel seen

1. A playful experience of interrupting and making it personal or changing the subject to focus on you
2. Jumping in to offer advice when it's not requested
3. Intentionally but lightly making the other person wrong
4. Listening though planning what you're going to say once it's your turn
5. Finally learning how to hold space for your training partner's deepest truths and clarity to emerge on their own

This sound bath will provide a sanctuary for reflection and gratitude, helping you release what no longer serves you and cultivate a sense of abundance and peace. Through guided meditation, we will explore the transformative power of sound and discover how to align our lives with the natural flow of the earth's energy.

Then let the gentle tones of the Tibetan bowls work their magic, helping to balance and cleanse your chakras, bringing a sense of harmony and calm to your entire being. Let the vibrations wash over you, melting away stress and tension, leaving you feeling deeply relaxed and refreshed.
Sound baths are a great way to ease into meditation, offering a chance to simply be present and unwind without any pressure to achieve anything. Let yourself be carried away by the peaceful sounds and find rest and comfort in the stillness.

After the session, take some time to chat with others and learn more about the bowls. You might even get the chance to play one yourself, experiencing the joy of creating beautiful sounds that resonate with your soul.
