Sound Bath September

Learning to be with our body is such a crucial skill in our healing journey! In this group, we'll appreciate the healing properties of Nature while exploring body safety and boundaries, movement, body sensations and social engagement. We will learn about the importance of the vagus nerve, toning and regulation of the nervous system and at the end of the day - engage our playfulness and curiousity for a lot of fun! :)

September 2026 (TBD)

The groups will begin with grounding/earthing/orienting (so wear shoes that are easy to take on and off).

We will have a canopy and a tree present for shade (if needed) as well as a cooler full of water.

Yoga mats will be provided to sit on. Any supplies needed for each group will be provided. We may be walking trails in order to engage in more structured mindful activity and meditation.

(Please also be mindful of this in the type of shoe you wear:)

We have some of our most skilled therapists leading each group that pertains to their own expertise.

The groups will take place in the yard of our Westfield office (to the side of the picnic table) Or at the Carmel office.

In the event of rainy weather, we will default to the serene yoga studio at the Carmel location office.
There are trails to each side of the office, which may be used during the groups.

Please don't hesitate to reach out to us with questions!

When you register, Hannah Cressman(our intern) will reach out to you with regard to payment and placement in the group. Spots are limited!
