Member Programs:
December 2024
Sound Nest - Small Group Meditation
2 December 2024, 2pm-4pm
Just as it sounds, you will be tucked under a rug on your own soft meditation mattress, cocooned in a safe, comfy nest while you are surrounded by the healing tones and vibrations of music, Tibetan singing bowls, chimes, and other instruments. In this nurturing container, you'll be able to 'tune out,' restore, and gently let go. This intimate group experience is designed to ease stress and help you to re-calibrate your nervous system. Kyrie creates a genuine space that helps you break free from the barriers preventing you from truly 'switching off.' Your nervous system will find the rest it craves, and you'll carry this sense of peace and calm with you for days to follow.
