Soothing, slow down Sound Bath

A soothing, gentle sound experience to mark World Mental Health day. A time to relax and let go. Please arrive by 7.35pm :) Beautiful, relaxing sound bath by candlelight Come join us for a serene evening at The Didsbury Parsonage Trust for a sound bath experience to mark World Mental health Day. A chance to unwind, and rest into a gentle sound bath and then sit back afterwards with a warm herbal tea and connect with others if you wish, What is a Sound Bath?A Sound Bath is a deeply immersive, full-body experience where sound waves produced by instruments like gongs, singing bowls, and chimes wash over you. The vibrations and harmonics of these ancient instruments are thought to have healing qualities that help you achieve a meditative state, restore balance, and calm your mind. How It Works:During the session, you’ll lie down comfortably on a mat while being enveloped by the sounds and vibrations of the instruments. The sound waves can help shift brain waves to deeper states of relaxation, like Theta, which promotes healing, creativity, and mental clarity. As the sounds resonate through the body, tension melts away, leaving you feeling refreshed and renewed. What to Expect: Upon arrival, you'll be welcomed into a calming space. We'll start with some light breathwork and a brief introduction, followed by an immersive sound bath of crystal quartz singing bowls. We’ll finish with a grounding meditation to help you integrate the experience before you leave.
