New Moon Sound Bath in the Greenhouse
Settle into our heated greenhouse as sunset turns into a dark, new moon sky and join Bridgette Aldrich in a beautiful co-creation as she weaves together the harmonics of multiple Crystal Singing Bowls. These harmonics combined with energetic alchemy will assist you into a very deep relaxation and alignment of your whole human system.
Crystal Alchemy Singing Bowls are made up of 99.99% pure quartz crystal with differing minerals and gems melted into a bowl-like shape. These Bowls produce a very beautiful, ethereal sound of high frequency energy. These frequencies are so fine that they can permeate every cell of the body bringing emotional, mental and physical relief while entraining the brain into a meditative state. This combined with Bridgette's expertise of Energetic Alchemy will assist you into an expansion of a whole new level of yourself.
Some basic Instructions for getting the most out of your Sound Bath...
~It is best to lie down for the whole experience but not necessary.
~ Each person will have an experience very unique to their Self. This is an Energetic Alignment Session. Some may experience slight discomfort in their physical or emotional bodies as energetic blocks are released. All you need to do is remember to breathe and let them flow through. Same thing with mental loops that have you going round in circles. Just be aware and let the bowls take them away.
~ There are limited yoga mats available at the Garden, so if you have your own please bring it.
~It could be a little chilly! Please bring a blanket, warm layers and a pillow. Comfort is highly encouraged!
We ask for an exchange of $44 for the sound bath. Please reach out to Megan at megan@sbgarden.org if you would like to attend but find this exchange to be a barrier. Space is limited and reservations are required. Reserve your spot here or by calling (208) 726-9358.

All five components compliment and balance each other to form the GIC.
