Sound Bath & Meditation
You know you're curious ...
Hosted by Hendrik of Down By Riverside
Carve out 90 minutes from your Sunday 3 p.m. - 4:30 p.m. to connect with the community and work on taking care of yourself at Arts Collaborative Medford, 162 Mystic Ave. Let the sound wash over you and feel the tension unclench.
What’s a Soundbath?
A soundbath is a performance of sound or music which is intended to relax, to spiritually heal, and to create a meditative state. Hendrik will play gong and singing bowls for this program. Often the sounds are long, deep sustained tones and harmonic resonances that happen higher above droning fundamental tones. The sound serves as a focal point for meditation. Instead of trying to focus on nothing or on the breath, the participant concentrates on the sound as it changes and develops.
What to Expect:
Please bring a yoga mat or meditation cushion with you. Several people have also brought blankets and pillows. You will get the option to sit in a cushioned chair if desired.
Program Flow
There will be an introductory discussion where participants can check in with the group. Lately this has included discussions about stressors, anxiety and depression. We will do some breathwork to relax a bit before the actual music. The soundbath will last about 60 minutes. After the bath, we will also have time to discuss the experience, check in with our community, and plan how to support each other.
