Sound Healing @ Silverthorne, 6 pm
Let the waves of sound wash over you in this relaxing in-person Sound Bath experience. The element of sound: runs through every facet of our life. Our bodies are made up of vibrations and frequency all the way down to the movement of our cells. It is no wonder that the journey of a sound bath brings our bodies back into a homeostatic state, nourishing our blood flow & our nervous system to enter into deep relaxation. This flow in our bodies also stimulates our energy lines, breaking through blocks, moving stagnation & uprooting old patterns that no longer serve us.
