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!
