Description

Join Alberta and Elijah for an ambient cozy community sound bath. BIPOC only.This sound bath is open to the BIPOC community and is intended to center and uplift our BIPOC community due to the extensive historical and current racism we experience on a regular basis. We need spaces to reset our nervous systems.If you do not identify as BIPOC and are able, please consider donating a ticket to a friend of color so they can access this event as well. If you do identify as BIPOC, and cannot afford access to a ticket, message Alberta @bodysoundsoul or [email protected] for a sliding scale promo code._______________________________________________________________________________Quartz crystal bowls, likembis, other African natural healing sounds along with vocals will loop and flow to create a 1 hour soundscape for you to stretch, meditate, lay or sit and receive tones aligned with the chakras. These instruments are deeply meditative. Known to be helpful with extended trauma release, chakra balancing, and full body reset. These instruments are often an optimal way to access and release the nervous system when stress, or healing is intense in the body. A state of peace, suspension and emotional release is a common response to receiving a sound bath of this kind. *Please bring water and a mat, blanket and any other items to make yourself cozy on the floor* We will build a fire in the stove for additional warmth and comfort.7:00-7:30pm ...
