Spring Awakening Sound Journey: Tending the Seeds Within

In a nutshell: As the earth softens and the days grow longer, spring offers us a natural invitation to awaken, root, and gently grow from within. Through stillness and sound, this journey invites us to tend to the quiet stirrings of new beginnings, nurturing the seeds of transformation ready to emerge.

Instruments that reflect the elements of earth, water, air and light will help us to connect with the natural world in this meditative session. These include an ocean drum, Tibetan and crystal singing bowls, gongs, monochord, Peruvian seed rattles, Peruvian bird whistle, rainstick, energy chimes and more. Poetic word and a guided meditation will be integrated in this reflective sound journey.

About Sound Journeys: Sound journeys bathe or massage our bodies, minds and spirits with healing sounds. This can help our noisy "monkey minds" get quiet as we shift to a Theta brainwave state from our usual Beta and Alpha states. This is where we relax deeply and experience peace and healing on a cellular level. Some people report physical, emotional, mental or spiritual shifts, such as pain relief, improved sleep, sense of clarity, calm, release of tension, feeling revitalized and much more.

What to expect: Come with your intentions for deeper listening within. I believe whatever is meant to happen for you will and whatever is not meant to happen will not.

Need to know: Please do not wear any perfumes or cologne to this event, as some may be allergic. (I personally am sensitive to some perfumes and colognes.)

Please arrive about 10 minutes before the start time so that you can prepare for the experience, and silence your phone upon entering. Understand that late arrivals will not be admitted once the sound journey has begun, out of respect for the group's experience. If the door is closed, please do not knock and disturb the session.

Please bring: whatever makes you comfy while lying on the ground for 90 minutes: a thick yoga or camping mat, (or even better is a chaise lounge cushion), a blanket and any pillows or cushions you may want for support. I will have bolsters for leg/back support and lavender eye pillows. You are welcome to bring your own if you prefer. Let me know if you need any accommodations so that you may be comfortable. Sitting upright is possible if needed: let me know if you want to use a floor chair.

If you have any medical conditions that may be negatively impacted by sound or vibrations, please consult your health care professional before signing up. These may include pregnancy (first trimester), sound-induced epilepsy, or mental health diagnoses that may be triggered by intense sounds.

This session is open to adults and mature young adults only.

Sorry, no refunds are possible after 3 days before the event. (To request a refund before this deadline, please reach out to me. If you are not able to attend, consider giving your ticket to a friend to enjoy.

What some people are saying:

"Annmarie does an astounding job at creating a beautiful and seamless vibrational meditation through her sound bath. The sound vibration allowed me to get into and stay in a deeper meditation than I could possibly do on my own without years of meditation practice. After her sound bath I felt renewed and relaxed in a way that I haven’t felt in months."--Andee

You don't just hear the sounds, you feel it. So joyful! The experience fully immersed both my mind and my body..." --Jill
