Community Sound Bath with Mermaid on the Mat

  • SoundEmbrace - Virtual (map)

Sound is a powerful tool for transformation. When we combine Sound + Community we cultivate self empowerment and find healing that transcends the challenges we currently face both individually and collectively.

About:

::::Sound On:::: was created for the SoundEmbrace Sound Healing Certification Program students to have their first group public sound session as their final project.

Danielle will introduce your practitioner and then "pass the mic" for them to lead you in a truly one of a kind experience. Every sound bath session will be different and unique to the guest practitioners topic and intention.

After the sound healing session we will stick around for a 30 minute Q & A.

About Donations:

Current Goal $10k

Once SoundEmbrace meets this goal we will launch a competition amongst the graduates of the SoundEmbrace Sound Healing Certification Program Alumni where they will have the opportunity to create a job opportunity for themselves.

The winner of the competition will create free sessions for the public/organization that is alignment with their mission and SoundEmbrace will pay them to do it.

This is our first endeavor into this new way of creating job opportunities for sound practitioners. I look forward to sharing the journey with you. We will soon have a page on our website sharing where we are in the process.

Currently, we have $208.00

Description for this evenings sound bath:

Come relax and reset with this experience that will help sooth the mind and relax the body as sound waves and vibrations massage you from the inside. We will start in a short seated meditation with a few gentle stretches to get grounded before lying down (or can always stay seated) as you are dropped into a deep meditative state with crystal singing bowls, brass, chimes, and other various sound therapy tools. Sound baths not only help destress but can promote better and deeper sleep states as well as activating the body and minds natural healing systems. It's a great way to destress, unwind, and end your work week! Feel free to use blankets, pillows, eye masks, etc to make it as cozy as you like!

Caitlin Ryan founder of Mermaid on the Mat

“Diving deep with sound.”

Caitlin began casually practicing yoga while studying theatre at the College of Charles and found a deeper practice upon moving to San Francisco in 2006. Growing up a swimmer and athlete, she fell in love with the physical side and depth that yoga brings.

She completed her 200hr RYT through Pete Guinosso's 'Lighting the Path' training program supported by Yoga Tree in 2014 and finished her 500hr RYT training through Yoga Tree in 2019 as well as being trained in the Moxie Method, Barre Above method, and teaches and was trained in children's yoga with It's Yoga Kids. Caitlin has also has a lifelong love affair with music and sound and was certified as a Level 4 sound healer with SoundEmbrace Institute in 2021. With this she facilitates sound baths to dive deep into meditation and relaxation that helps put the body and mind in it’s natural healing state.

You can find her sound baths throughout the city at various studios and even incorporated in some of her yoga classes and is available for private bookings and events in both yoga and sound. When not teaching, she can be found chasing adventure, good music, and sharks as well as other marine conservation outreach. Her fitness beliefs are to do what feels good in your body and find something that nurtures and challenges you but will still leave you smiling, and not to forget to give yourself nurturing gentle practices along with the challenging ones for a well balanced lifestyle.
