SOUND BATH FOR A SPECIAL OCCASION
THE BEST ACTIVITY GIFT IDEA TO EXPERIENCE TOGETHER WITH THE LOVED ONES
Technological innovations have made social interaction more accessible than ever before. We spend countless hours “connecting” with others on social media platforms, but ultimately, we can't feel the "energy" of the people we talk to. To make matters worse, this way of socializing becomes so comfortable that we no longer have the need or desire to meet people face-to-face, sharing the same space and silence with them.
Sharing the pleasure of being silent during a sound bath creates a space of union.
A sound meditation or a sound bath is a deep immersion in mindfully selected sounds, frequencies, rhythms, and music intervals that will completely change your vision of what socializing is. No unfulfilling small talk or loud music, but a deep connection with yourself and your guests.
Through the soothing, healing environment, you are given the chance to explore new layers of yourself while also cultivating the relationship with those around you.
And in reflecting on their experience, clients often state that,
"We needed this experience as a group"
The duration of the session is 90-120 minutes.
2 - 20 participants: $500.
20 - 40 participants: $700 (negotiable).
All visits outside the area of five boroughs are subject to custom prices. Please contact us for details.

SOUND BATH INTRODUCTORY TALK
We start with a short informative introduction to sound meditation. We explore what can be experienced and cultivate the expectations for the sound journey in a purposeful way.
Through a series of examples, you experientially witness how different non-verbal sonic signals carry their own emotional content. The benefits of conscious listening become crystal clear, allowing you to fully receive the message of sound and tap into its wisdom.
The length of an introductory talk is usually 10 to 20 minutes. Each talk is tailored to a unique audience.
A GUIDED BREATHWORK SESSION
To wholly absorb the upcoming sound journey, a breathwork session helps to clear your mind.
The breathwork consists of a special breathing technique that I learned from a family of curanderos (shamans) in the Amazonian jungle near Iquitos (Peru). You receive an explanation about the specific breathing pattern as well as a demonstration.
During the next 5 to 7 minutes, you are breathing in unison, guided by the rhythm of a powerful frame drum. Each participant is approached separately. And one by one, you somatically discover how listening can be a fascinating full-body experience. Not only your ears resonate with the healing vibrations, but your entire body too.
A UNIFYING HUMMING, BUZZING, OR VOCALAZING VOWELS SESSION
A guided vocalization further clears your mind and opens your vocal tract.
You are gently guided into an embodied experience in which you produce vocal vibrations, while also witnessing their physical sensations in your body. The listener in you becomes increasingly aligned with the one who's also producing sound. And you swiftly wake up to the power of your own voice.
In the background, serene tones serve as guidance, enabling the group to effortlessly hum in unison.
With each participant naturally attuning their voice to be in resonance with those around them, a powerful unifying energy is created.
* The vocalization segment is accompanied by the tones of a Shruti box
Read here about the benefits of humming.
You have now not only awakened the connection with your body through your own voice, but you also experience a profound state of spatial awareness in which you are deeply in touch with yourself, while also being attuned to those around you.
You feel grounded and present. A transformative consciousness-expanding experience has taken place. And you are ready to fully dive into the upcoming sound journey.
This part of the event may vary in length upon request but usually lasts 7 to 10 minutes.
* No previous singing experience needed! Everyone can hum!
HYPNOTIC SOUND BATH / SOUND MEDITATION
A gentle intro opens the sound bath as harmonious healing frequencies that carry no strong emotional association ease you into the sonic journey.
Drawing on psychoacoustic principles, little by little, a first layer of tension is introduced. This too is done gently. After this accumulation comes a hypnotic wave of comforting release, washing away the tension and taking with it all that no longer serves you.
Slow, light frequencies softly caress your entire being. And as you let go, you enter a deeply nourishing state of bliss.
Following this healing journey, dynamic vibrations stemming from a powerful gong inspire you to pay close attention and fully absorb the energy.
As all tension falls away once more, verbal instructions slowly bring you back from the sound meditation. A reset button has been activated. And any emotions, feelings, or thoughts that have come up can now be integrated.
A DEEPLY RELAXING VIBROACOUSTIC MASSAGE
A vibroacoustic massage further enhances the beautiful celebration.
This special treatment happens on request.
A vibroacoustic massage is a deeply nourishing deep tissue massage that is specifically meant for the the birthday ‘kid’, newly-wedded couple, the bride or groom to be, or the colleague who's about to switch companies, for example.
* To ensure a unique experience that’s tailored to your needs, clients can choose from an assortment of:
tuning forks, a singing bowl, or a harp.
Are you about to celebrate a special moment with the people you care about? Then why not create a sacred experience that everyone will remember and cherish?
