Sound Immersion with Francesca Genco and Katie Down
Sound Immersion: A Vibrational Journey
Bathe in healing sounds and songs. Allow your mind and body to rest. Enjoy connection with yourself and others. Rest comfortably on a yoga mat or in a chair and let us immerse you in the vibrations of deeply resonant instruments and soul-stirring vocals.
There will be time at the end of the Sound Immersion to draw, journal and share our experiences. Bring whatever you need to be comfortable, including a yoga mat, blankets and pillows. Bring your own journal and pen.
$40 for the two-hour experience
