What in the World is Sound Healing? *In-Person* *NEW*

It's an ancient protocol of wellness and healing, currently undergoing a global revival as more and more people experience its many benefits for mind, body, and soul. In this 2-hour workshop, sound therapist Joe Hayes will facilitate a journey into the stillness, release, and profound relaxation sound healing offers and a literal 're-tuning' of the Seven Chakras, the body's primary energy centers. Using instruments such as the didgeridoo, the shruti, sacred chant, trance drum, and a full complement of quartz, fusion, and Tibetan sound (aka singing) bowls, Joe will lead us into this deeply therapeutic and profoundly relaxing experience that has been endorsed by the Buddha, Einstein, and, most recently, mainstream health centers like Stanford. An amazing experience you won't forget! Bring a yoga mat, blanket, and pillow, or sit in one of the available chairs. Instructor: Joe Hayes
