DETAILS OF THE EXPERIENCE:

Beyond a secret garden gate, something enchanting awaits.

Follow the lantern-lit path that winds through the garden, leading to a hidden sanctuary nestled amongst the trees.

The scent of incense greets you as you step inside. Candlelight glows. Flowers adorn the space. A warming cup of tea is placed into your hands.

You settle into a cosy pile of soft blankets & cushions. For a while, there is nowhere else you need to be.

We begin quietly, with time to breathe, settle and arrive. You soon become immersed in the sounds of Himalayan Singing Bowls, Quartz Crystal Bowls and Gongs.

All instruments are played live in the moment. No backing tracks. No talking throughout. No expectation of what you should experience. Just an invitation to listen, be still, and be present with whatever unfolds within you.

You may drift into deep meditation. You may fall asleep. You may float somewhere between waking and dreaming. You may simply lie there and listen. And that is enough.

The essence of this experience is about gifting yourself the space to just be.

As the journey comes to a close, the sounds soften, gently leading to silence. Slowly you return.

Your tea cup is refilled. Nothing is hurried here.

You can pull an oracle card or share something with the group if you wish to. Or you can simply stay quietly in your own little bubble.

And when you’re ready, you step back outside. The garden is waiting. You walk the path back towards the gate, carrying with you what the experience has given you.

Hopefully, feeling a little more:

Present.
Grounded.
Held.
Peaceful.
Nourished.
Inspired.
Connected.
Renewed.

Come exactly as you are. Leave with a little more space within.

Disclaimer:

The therapeutic benefits of sound are accessible to anyone. However, there are certain conditions & circumstances that sound therapy is unsuitable for, as outlined below:

• A sound bath is not recommended during the first trimester of pregnancy due to the delicate nature of this period

• Conditions such as Epilepsy (or history of seizures) and Ménière disease are sound sensitive & therefore may be triggered by sound and vibration

• Metal implants, pins & screws may be affected by the vibrations; and electronic devices e.g. pacemaker or hearing aid may also be affected

• A sound bath can induce an altered state of consciousness, which requires a level of mental stability in order to ensure safety. Therefore anyone with severe psychiatric symptoms e.g. suicidal, psychosis, bipolar disorder, schizophrenia or paranoia are not recommended to partake in a sound bath

• A sound bath may not be suitable for those with severe heart conditions, high or abnormal blood pressure, or a history of aneurisms

• A sound bath may not be suitable if you are on heavy medication or have had recent surgery
