Grounding Sound: Seasonal Sound Baths for Self-Growth

Grounding Sound is a series of sound baths, guided journaling, and expressive arts prompts that explore themes of seasonal change from fall to winter, light to dark, and exertion to rest. As humans and members of the natural world, the invitation is to reconnect to natural rhythms found within ourselves, each other, and the greater-than-human world.

Fall 2026 Dates & Themes:

• 9/16 - Reaping

Practitioner: Led by expressive arts therapist and licensed counselor, Liz Ahlbrand, MS, LLC, REAT[p].

Cost: $10. If you wish to avoid the Eventbrite fees, you may send $10 to my Venmo @Liz-Ahlbrand to secure your spot.

Schedule: Each session begins with a gentle introduction and answering of any questions the group has, followed by a guided mindfulness meditation and intention-setting. This leads into the sound bath, then to an optional invitation to deepen your practice through guided journaling and/or arts-based exploration using seasonally themed prompts. An optional sharing time at the end of the hour provides space to process and connect as a group.

What to Bring/What is Supplied: Feel free to bring a journal and writing utensil, as well as anything else for your own comfort, such as a blanket, pillow, yoga mat, or water bottle. I will supply floor cushions, cushioned chairs, and yoga mats, as well as scrap paper, colored pens and pencils, and water and tea.
