What is a Sound Bath?
The idea of a 'sound bath' is Inspired by the Japanese concept of Shinrin-Yoku, or 'forest bathing', a mindful method of immersing oneself in the forest, allowing the senses to fully engage with the sights, sounds, and scents of the natural environment. Like a forest bath, in a sound bath, one is immersing themselves in a safe capsule of sound that bathes the senses, promoting relaxation and clarity. This is not just music. It is a field of resonance that interrupts the noise of the ordinary.
Your Host
My name is Karen and I'm a multi-instrumental sound bath musician who plays sound bowls, gong, drum, native flute, chimes and other sacred sound instruments.
I trained as a meditation and yoga nidra teacher in Nasik, India in 2003 and I've been leading sound-based meditation classes ever since, evolving from Oms and a single sound bowl to a full studio with several gongs and many other specialized instruments. I've trained in gong with Mike Tamburo, Bear and Shion of B. Love, Ken Little and Denise Blaney. I absolutely, totally and completely love creating immersive soundscapes that invoke a sense of mystery and magic.
My Offerings
In my cozy, candlelit studio in the Upper Beaches, you enter a comforting space where I offer individual, couple and small group sound bathing sessions, featuring sound bowls, gong, native flute, drum, crystal harp, chimes, tuning forks and singing bowls.
During your sound journey, you are lying down on a soft floor cushion and covered in a soothing, warm blanket. All you need to do is relax.
I also offer performances off-site, anywhere in the world! Love to collaborate. Happy to discuss more! Contact me below for more information.
