Unbound: Breathwork + Sound Bath
A journey towards conscious awareness and deep relaxation.
Thursday, November 9th, 2023 // 7 - 8:30 p.m.
Unbound elicits an experience of release, freedom, deep breathing, expansion, and limitless potential. In our culture, our minds are bound by societal conditioning and harmful beliefs; our spirits are bound by our egos, and our bodies are bound by stress and tension.
In this special paired experience, Breathwork is the vehicles that moves you beyond the ordinary, limited mind, toward a more open, expansive perspective. It offers you a path to tap into your unique unbound potential. While Sound Bath facilitates the unwinding of physical and mental tension and stress, gently ushering you into a state of relaxation and spaciousness.
Join us in this workshop where the power of breath and sound converge. Experience yourself, unbound. All are welcome.

About the workshop // Breathwork + Sound Bath
This workshop uses the humble power of breath to quiet the incessant chattering mind and enter a gentle expanded state of consciousness where insight can emerge. Breath is our most accessible and powerful vehicle for healing and transformation. Yet it is omnipresent; we often take it for granted and its potential goes untapped. This conscious connected breathwork modality unleashes the alchemical potential of the breath.
In this class, we’ll lie in a relaxed position and simply use the breath, guided by evocative music, to enter a gentle expanded state of conscious. From this place, your inner healer can emerge. You may have important insights, cathartic releases, glimpse a different way of thinking and feeling, or experience deep rest and rejuvenation.
Breathwork is a practice that tones your nervous system, making it more flexible and resilient. This is one of the keys to healing from trauma, depression and anxiety. Breath penetrates and breaks up the “crusty and crackly” layers of conditioned experience to reveal the luminous vitality and wisdom that exist at your center.
After the active breathwork, let the soothing vibrations of the Sound Bath flow over you, harmonizing your being and nurturing a deeper connection with yourself. Sound Bath is a deeply relaxing and immersive sound healing experience. These sounds are produced by a combination of instruments such as singing bowls and other musical tools. The vibrations and frequencies generated during the session help induce a meditative state, promoting a sense of calm, balance, and overall well-being. Sound Baths are known to reduce stress, alleviate anxiety, and enhance mental clarity. It's a rejuvenating journey for the mind and body, allowing participants to release tension and reconnect with themselves on a profound level.
