Sound Bath with Sasha

"If you're looking for a new way to meditate, relax, or reduce stress, sound baths may be a helpful option. Participants usually lie on the ground with a yoga mat, blankets, pillows, or seated in a chair and listen to the sound of the singing bowls and other instruments.  A sound bath is different from a normal music presentation in that the sounds are put together in a sometimes unrhythmic pattern to break patterns in the mind. This sound bath will be 45 minutes.". Event Title: L4Humboldt. Organization: LIBRARY, CAREER DEVELOPMENT CENTER. Responsible Person at Event Name: Sasha Wallace.
