Join us quarterly for Sound Meditation with Ashley Woodworth, local yoga teacher and sound facilitator!

The theme for this quarter's session will be Listening as Meditation, with reflection questions such as "What does it mean to truly listen, beyond hearing?" Handouts will be available.

Sound meditation is an integrated practice that combines a restorative setting with an emphasis on breath, mindful presence, and judicious listening. Instruments such as Tibetan singing bowls, etheric chimes, frame drums, rattles, and crystal pyramids are played during the meditation. This container empowers participants to use sound as a therapeutic tool to disconnect from the monkey mind and delve into an embodied state, disengaging from habitual patterns of thought and behavior, and initiating beneficial cognitive change.
