Sound Meditation in the Garden

Join the SF Botanical Garden for a sound meditation workshop. A sound meditation is a live sound experience where participants lay down and listen to meditative instruments. Imagine laying on the grass, outdoors in the beautiful gardens while listening to quartz crystal singing bowls and specially tuned gongs. Close your eyes and experience effortless relaxation of the body while simultaneously restoring the nervous system in a natural way. 
These unique instruments slow down your brainwaves to meditative-like states through a process called entrainment that have the potential to:

Create sustained harmony of the body and mind. 
Release emotional stress and physical tension.
Receive spontaneous insight and heightened intuition. 
Soothe and balance your nervous system
Unlock creative potential and journey into your own imagination

Participants simply lay back and listen to a live concert of sound and vibration, no yoga is practiced. 
For a more relaxing experience, please bring a pillow, something to lay down on, and 2-3 blankets.
