I’m excited to introduce a new offering here at cityhomeCOLLECTIVE. Have you been to a soundbath before? Well… this might be a little different.
I’m calling this a “Song Bath” due to the use of music and singing throughout the experience. Some songs will be prepared, but some will be improvised and written by you and whoever is in the room! You don’t have to do any singing if you don’t want to, but as we listen to what our bodies need to hear and write love letters, I can use the words to whip up something that serenades our bones. I sing with these bowls to get back to a shared human root: vibration itself. We all embryonically came into form surrounded by breath and a heartbeat. Why do ocean waves instantly relax my breathing? Why does a drum move my body from the inside out? Why do I sometimes hum in order to regulate my nerves?
When I observe what’s happening in the world, the country, the community, and in the lives of loved ones, there’s so much that I wish for. I wish I could do something for the stress, loss, and heartbreak. I wish to weave in joy with what’s heavy. I wish for us to rest.
With each monthly Song Bath, I’ll collect donations for a different cause. Sometimes it may go to a single individual or family in need. Other times to an organization involved in life-giving work. Keep an eye on our social media to see what each month is dedicated to. So come in comfy clothes! Bring a journal and pen if you like to reflect. Support a community need. And give your body some dedicated time to exhale and come home.
