Sound Bath Experience:
Sound bath experiences are intimate opportunities for participants to relax and rest in the mind and body. Typically the way my sound bath experience goes, is I have an open space where participants can lay on the floor with yoga mats, provided or brought most people like to bring their own, I also encourage pillows if needed. As the sound practitioner I will be set up in the middle or at the front, I will guide participants through a breathwork exercise and guided meditation while playing the sound bowls and utilizing other instruments brought. This will last for about 30-35 minutes and I will provide time towards the end for questions and processing. Most participants have questions about things they may have seen during the experience or they may just want to share how they feel after being in such a deep meditative state for the first time for some. And as we wrap up towards the end I will provide water or tea for guests to take with them and leave space for participants to connect with one another; this whole experience will last for about an hour and 15 min from start to finish.
Additional details
This month, in line with our theme, SPIRITUALITY, join us for a sound bath experience, facilitated by Ebony Black. A sound bath is a meditative experience where those in attendance are “bathed” in sound waves. These waves are produced by various sources, including healing instruments such as gongs, singing bowls, percussion, chimes, rattles, tuning forks, and even the human voice itself.
During the sound bath, attendees are invited to lie on their backs on yoga mats, with blankets, pillows or any other items needed to provide comfort during the experience. The sound bath experience will be followed by a time for questions and processing. Water and tea will be provided for guests to take with them after the experience.
Date/time: Thursday July 28 Doors open at 6:30pm Sound Bath from 7-8:15pm
Location: IndieStudios 190 Ottley Dr NE Studio B-4, Atlanta, GA 30324
