Whether you’re new to writing, sound baths, or simply looking for a new way to reconnect with yourself, this event is a unique offering of creativity, wholeness, and sound.

POTENTIAL BENEFITS OF A HAMMOCK SOUND BATH

• Deep Relaxation: The gentle rocking of the hammock combined with therapeutic sound frequencies lulls your body into a deeply relaxed state, helping to relieve stress and anxiety.

• Enhanced Circulation: Being suspended in the air allows for optimal blood flow and circulation, promoting physical well-being.

• Pain Alleviation: The weightlessness of the hammock can reduce pressure on the joints and muscles, providing relief from chronic pain or tension.

• Emotional Liberation: The sound vibrations can help release emotional blockages, fostering a sense of emotional balance and clarity.

• Sleep Reimagined: Many participants report improved sleep patterns after a hammock sound bath, as the experience helps reset the nervous system and promotes a state of calm.

• Spiritual Connection: The combination of sound healing and gentle swaying can facilitate a deeper connection with your inner self, enhancing your spiritual practice.

BLUE LOTUS

Participants will be offered Blue Lotus tea, an ancestral plant revered by the ancient Egyptians for its ability to activate the third eye and induce lucid dreaming. Blue Lotus is also a nervine (a nervous system relaxant) and known as the "Gateway to the Divine" because of its ethereal effects, from euphoric tranquility to heightened awareness. Blue Lotus flower is also said to enhance the way we experience sound; this, along with its relaxing properties, makes this plant ally the perfect sound bath companion.
