HEALING SOUND

Come and explore the freedom and power of sound. You will be guided through a process of deepening your connection to your voice through breath, simple body movement, and sounding. We will explore sound as a form of prayer - as a path that can help us deepen our intentions during the season of Lent. Sound will be used to release old patterns and create an openness to new life-giving ways of being. Discover the jmany ways that sound can deepen our connection with the sacred and give us an embodied experience of the power and creativity of the life-force within.
