Holiday Berthoud Sound Bath

After Christmas, unwind and rejuvenate with this uplifting 75-min. Sound Journey (sound bath).

In a nutshell: This event is held at Wildfire Arts Center in Berthoud, CO.

We know how holiday festivities can be exhausting. And for many it is a stressful or difficult time of year. Give yourself this restorative session so you can approach the new year renewed and ready.

Sound waves impact our parasympathetic nervous system, helping us to release tension and relax deeply. With a guided reflection and harmonious vibrations woven together, you can receive this much-needed renewal.

Featuring a plethora of instruments, including a 32 inch Paiste planetary gong: Chiron, the "Wounded Healer"; a wind gong, singing bowls, a large ocean drum, Monolini monochord, and more!

About Sound Journeys: Many call it a sound bath, but I call my sessions JOURNEYS because they truly take you to another place within your mind, heart, body and spirit. Using a very fluid and layered approach with a wide variety of instruments, this sound journey opens you to a space of relaxation, reflection and growth.

Sound journeys bathe or massage our bodies, minds and spirits with healing sounds. This can help our noisy "monkey minds" get quiet as we shift to a Theta brainwave state from our usual Beta and Alpha states. This is where we relax deeply and experience peace and healing on a cellular level. Some people report physical, emotional, mental or spiritual shifts, such as pain relief, improved sleep, sense of clarity, calm, release of tension, feeling revitalized and much more.

Not sure if it is for you? Give it a try and I will give you a money back GUARANTEE if you don't find it to be relaxing. If like me, you've been to others' sessions that are too loud with their crystal bowls, have no fear. I create balance and layers of sound with a variety of instruments.

What to expect: One of my clients call it a "mind massage." Come with an open mind and heart. Be ready to deeply relax and connect with a deeper part of yourself. This journey will be infused with guided visualization with poetic word to assist in supporting a meditative experience.

Leave refreshed and steeped in gratitude.

Please bring: a thick yoga mat (or even better is a outdoor chaise lounger mattress or camping mat), or a zero gravity chair if you need to be off of the ground. Also bring a blanket and any pillows or cushions you may want to be comfortable laying down. I will have eye pillows and a limited number of bolsters. Be aware that it's a hard wood floor.

Need to know: Please do not wear any perfumes or cologne to this event, as some may be allergic. Dress comfortably. Please arrive about 10 minutes before the start time so that you can prepare for the experience, and silence your phone upon entering. Understand that late arrivals will not be admitted once the sound journey has begun, out of respect for the group's experience. If the door is closed, please do not knock and disturb the session.

If you have any medical conditions that may be negatively impacted by sound or vibrations, please consult your health care professional before signing up. These may include pregnancy (first trimester), sound-induced epilepsy, or mental health diagnoses that may be triggered by certain types of sounds.

What some people are saying:

"Annmarie does an astounding job at creating a beautiful and seamless vibrational meditation through her sound bath. The sound vibration allowed me to get into and stay in a deeper meditation than I could possibly do on my own without years of meditation practice. After her sound bath I felt renewed and relaxed in a way that I haven’t felt in months."--Andee
