~ NESTING ~ A Cozy Winter Sound Meditation

Inner Sounds Meditation offers extended sound "bath" immersions designed to create the deepest relaxation possible through an intimate experience with limited participants in interesting, unusual spaces.   The theme of this immersion is ~ NESTING ~ to get cozy in this beautiful, sculptural nest-like space complete with HEATED floors.   Lay down and be snuggled by a cocoon of sound and relaxation and heated floors. For most of us, Winter is our busiest season, filled to the brim with activities and events. As a season, though, it is quiet, still, empty and spacious. Our bodies naturally yearn to slow down and for less activity. The holiday culture asks the opposite and when we comply without making time for restoration we end up catching the flu or collapsing in January after a dizzying December.     Holidays are complex and emotional time and there is hardly any time or space to feel the true emotions that are present. In an effort to be cheerful, we often bypass or overlook sadness for those that are missing from our lives, or frustration around the family unit and how it operates or doesn't operate. This sound meditation is meant to be a nest, a cozy place for all your emotions and feelings to surface and rest.      Create a snuggly place for your emotions and align with the season through this slow, melodic, and deeply relaxing nest of sound.   Early bird registration before Dec 1st - $35 After Dec 1 - $40 *NO refunds, tickets are transferable to a friend   What to bring - There are no props at this gorgeous venue.Your body will appreciate proper support!
