Sound Bath in a Stunning Berkeley Chapel

Enhanced Content: Your Monthly Ritual for Rest & Renewal
Feeling overwhelmed and in need of a reset? Dive into a unique experience that goes beyond the ordinary – it’s a journey within yourself, guided by the soothing power of sound. Join us in the serene setting of a non-denominational Berkeley church, basking in the ethereal glow of stained-glass windows, for a monthly gathering that promises tranquility and self-renewal.
What to Expect
Led by the experienced Certified Mindfulness Meditation Teacher, Erica Skone-Rees, accompanied by the enchanting live music of Bryce Mulholland and Shannon Hopkins, each session unfolds with:

• A grounding meditation to gently center your being
• An immersive sound journey that harmonizes the nervous system
• Live performances on an array of instruments including crystal and Tibetan singing bowls, hand pans, guzheng (Chinese harp), acoustic guitar, frame drum, Koshi bells, and more
• A serene environment where you are encouraged to rest, move mindfully, or simply exist in peaceful stillness

Numerous scientific studies extol the benefits of sound baths in:

• Reducing cortisol levels, the infamous stress hormone
• Enhancing quality of sleep and boosting concentration
• Fostering emotional clarity and activating the body’s innate healing mechanisms

What to Bring
Create your cocoon of comfort with essentials like:

• Yoga mat, camping pad, or cushions for a cozy seating arrangement
• Snug blanket, soft pillow, eye mask, or bolster for added relaxation
• Water or extra layers to ensure warmth and hydration

Feel free to recline, sit, or make gentle movements according to your body’s wisdom. Should you need to readjust during the session, a courteous shift towards the rear or side aisles is all we ask.
