Holiday Season Slowdown with Lotus Sound Bath

Join Douglas Cardwell and Lotus Sound Bath for a seasonal slow-down sound session.  Release the accumulation of stress, clear the fog, and realize the best kind of present there is—to fully experience, embrace, and foster joy through the holiday season, the arrival of winter, and onwards into a new year. 

Guests will enjoy an instrumental meditation, a multi-sensory experience performed by a music professional and certified sound bath practitioner using gongs, singing bowls, and other high-vibrational resonating instruments in the inviting surroundings of FUSION | 708 on December 15th at 6 PM.  The frequencies and tones of the therapeutic sound bath are designed not only to relax and decompress the body, but also to release the buildup of chronic negative emotion, reset and restore the nervous system, and center the mind, body, and spirit in the present moment to foster an overall healthier and more positive state of being.

Sound healing is best received in a comfortable lying position in alignment with the instruments.  Please bring a yoga mat or sleeping pad, pillow, and blanket, as desired, to be as relaxed as possible and allow the waves of sound to release tension throughout the body, and soothing harmony to slow the mind during this 60-minute session.

If you have never experienced a sound bath before, this is an excellent opportunity to do so in a spacious, creative, and wonderfully acoustic atmosphere with an experienced and dedicated practitioner.  We look forward to welcoming you!

 
 

HOW TO PREPARE FOR A SOUND BATH:

  •  As supplies are limited, please bring a yoga mat or sleep pad, comforter or small blanket, and pillow, to be able to lie comfortably.  Eye covers are recommended and will be available.  Seating upon request.

  • Please arrive early. This will allow you to choose a space and relax before the event. Doors will open at approximately 5:15 PM.

  • For the comfort of others, please avoid wearing strong fragrances.

  • Finally, as with any activity, sound healing is most effective when participants embrace the experience.  Approached with willingness and good intentions, you are more likely to feel a lasting and positive difference.

Please contact Lotus Sound Bath with any questions, concerns, or requests about the event, or visit our website and social media for more information.
