**We are now sold out** In response to all the enthusiasm, we created an extra night (w/ aromatherapy!) on the 24th of August. https://events.sparxo.com/soundandscent We also have a breathwork ceremony on the 21st, and we're in Oakland on the 26th: soundmeditationsf.com/buy-tickets ----- On August 18th, our community is coming together again; to drop into a deep meditation and resonate with peace and love. Why is August 18th so auspicious? It's a Full Moon. It's a Lunar Eclipse. It's our opportunity, in these chaotic times, to ground in calm. ---- We're going to make this event a bit smaller than last month, to give everyone more room. To sign up for an e-mail reminder when tickets go on sale, visit: www.soundmeditationsf.com. ----- 'The Holistic Chamber of Sound' w/ Guy Douglas is a beautiful concert that brings you into a deep state of meditation. This is a time for our community to come together and refresh, take a break from the hectic summer pace and bathe ourselves in loving vibes. ------ Our evening will feature 38" Paiste gongs, over two dozen huge crystal singing bowls, Tibetan bronze bowls, shamanic drums, hang drums, Native American flutes, Koshi chimes, Tingshe chimes, bells, and more. During the event, participants lie down and are bathed head to toe in sound— it's a very hypnotic, ethereal experience. You will come away with a clear mind, and a deeper appreciation for the wonder of sound. We strongly recommend this event for people who have trouble meditating, or feel like they just "can't get there." Give this a try :). Sound Meditation SF promotes the ancient healing practice of sound work as a way to affect physical health and conscious awareness. Tickets will be available on August 10th.
