The Sacred Pause
Echoes of the Season: A Journey of Integration
As the year draws to a close and the final holidays approach, give yourself the one thing often missing: a sacred pause.
This is your invitation to rest — not in exhaustion, but in intention.
To lie down, breathe deep, and receive the healing resonance of the gong, crystal bowls, voice & drums in a fully immersive sound journey.
Before the noise. Before the gatherings. Before the year turns — come home to yourself.
This sound journey is an invitation to:
Re-calibrate your inner rhythm with the turning of the season
Integrate and transform what has come before
Remember the deeper self that is always present beneath the noise
We’ll begin with grounding and intention, enter the immersion, and close with spacious integration and reflection.
🧘 What to Bring
Please bring a yoga mat, blanket, and pillow for your comfort while lying down. An eye mask and extra blanket are highly recommended, as body temperature may drop during deep relaxation. A bolster or cushion placed under the knees can also be helpful for supporting the low back.
🌟 What to Expect
A serene environment designed for deep rest and healing
Guided meditation to calm the mind and open the heart 10-15 minutes
A 60-minute immersion in a curated soundscape
Time for reflection and grounding at the close of the session 15 minutes
🌟 Benefits of the Journey May Include
Releasing built-up stress and stored tension
Restoring emotional balance and soothing the nervous system
Enhancing mental clarity and supporting restful sleep
Cultivating inner calm and energetic harmony
A gentle return to your authentic self through sacred sound
For ages 16 and older.
