1–2:30P • HANDPAN HANGOUT »
Handpan enthusiasts, musicians and anyone curious about making music is invited to attend. Whether you are new to playing the handpan, an intermediate+ musician, or simply curious about the instrument, come see what it's all about and join us for an afternoon full of handpans, connecting through music, sweet vibes & spirit jam time.
Don't have a handpan but want to come? Don’t worry, some instruments provided including frame drums, shakers, djembes, a few extra handpans and acoustic instruments floating around.
3–4P • SOUND MEDITATION »
Stay after the hangout and be immersed in the relaxing sounds of the Himalayan singing bowls, symphonic gong, handpan & vocal explorations. This one hour meditative immersion, will help take participants into the theta brain wave state where the body is known to rest and digest. Sound healing is an ancient practice that is known to have many powerful effects on both the mind and body.
This meditative technique is good for sufferers of stress, anxiety, depression and PTSD ,as well as those simply looking for a relaxing evening after the regular hustle bustle of daily routine. Many people who attend sound baths have experiences similar to those of the R.E.M. or dream state. The goal of this class is to be comfortable and to give your mind and body the space it needs to reset. We look forward to seeing you!
