Description

Mountain Town Music, in partnership with Wild Women Tribe and Live Like Sam, presents this one of a kind, FREE healing work shop made possible by a generous contribution from the Summit County RAP Tax! This is an immersive experience for youth and families combining the powers of sound, breath-work, and cold therapy. It is recommended that participants be at least 15 years of age. We will begin by introducing participants to the data, both anecdotal and science based, of how these three modalities heal and learn about the underlying physiology. Then Jeremy Wilstein, certified Wim Hof instructor and Park City native, will guide participants through the Wim Hof breath while Michael Porfilio, master sound healer, baths participants in sound using crystal singing bowls and a myriad of other instruments. The crystal singing bowls, tuned to the 432 htz frequency, a frequency capable of healing the body on a cellular level, as it shifts your brainwaves into the theta state. After the breath-work participants will be invited to discover the life changing experience of the ice bath plunge. While the cold therapy portion of the event is definitely optional, we highly encourage it! You'll thank us later! After the cold plunge we'll dry off and gather in circle. Facilitators will guide the group to share their thoughts and feelings in order to fully integrate all 3 aspects of the experience and to encourage community healing. If you have no prior experience with cold exposure, we recommend you finish your showers cold in the days leading up to the workshop. This may be overwhelming at first, but try to relax, focus on your breath, and bring it into a controlled, steady rhythm. This summer series is a continuation of the four-part Sound Healing Series collaboration that Mountain Town Music presented together with Wild Women Tribe in the spring. The goal of that series was to raise awareness on mental health and offer a space for community-activated healing. Proceeds from each sound healing event supported a different local mental health organization: Communities That Care, Connect Summit County, PEACE House and The Cole Project. In total $2,410 was donated to these organizations as a result of the project. Wild Women Tribe connects likeminded women in transformational experiences in the outdoors though daylong workshops called WANDERS and transformational retreats. It’s become a dynamic and fun platform that empowers and unites adventure loving women and female-founded businesses through positive support, shared interests, and connection in Mother Nature.
