Lotus Sound Bath at The Netherwoods
Sunday, April 26 • 6:30 PM

Douglas and Lotus Sound Bath are thrilled to join Romy and guests at the Netherwoods during this beautiful time of year to create what is always a magical gathering at a special location - as alive and vibrant as those who gather there! If you haven't attended a Lotus Sound Bath event at the Netherwoods before, don't miss this restorative session coming up in April to match the vitality of the season. This is a smaller gathering, so spots fill up quickly!

About: The sound bath is a unique practice in which sound waves produced by crystal singing bowls, gong(s), and other specialty instruments guide participants in a sonic meditation intended to relieve body tension, release stress, quiet the mind, reduce pain, and soothe the nervous system, leaving you feeling grounded and centered, with clarity of mind and peace in your heart. No experience is necessary. Simply arrive as you are!

What to bring: yoga mat (or comforter or sleeping pad), pillow, and light blanket, anything that will help you get most comfortable while lying down. Seating available, if preferred.

We look forward to a creating this magical evening together with you! 💓
