On the 1st Friday of each month, come and bathe in the luxurious experience and profound restoration that comes from the intentional use of rattles, drums, gongs, crystal bowls, voice, and nature sounds. Sound Healing is an art and technology that cleans, repairs and restores the physical, mental, emotional, etheric, and spiritual bodies of the listener using the vibration and frequencies of sounds, tones and rhythms, and silence, selected and sequenced for that purpose.
