DESCRIPTION:Sound Bath in the Garden is a sanctuary for deep rest. It’s 
 an invitation to step out of autopilot and into presence. This is where th
 e body can settle\, the mind can quiet\, and the nervous system can feel s
 afe to rest. It begins with a brief breathing exercise and gentle guided m
 editation to help you arrive fully in the present moment. From there\, you
  can rest as waves of sound move through the space. You are able to experi
 ence the resonant tones of crystal quartz singing bowls\, the soft shimmer
  of koshi chimes\, the rhythm of the ocean drum\, as well as the flowing s
 ounds of water chimes. As a result\, each sound supports a sense of ease\,
  spaciousness\, and balance. This class includes admission to the Garden t
