Evening Sound Bath with Crystal Singing Bowls

Let the soundwaves transport you to a place of relaxation & peace! During this experience Meditation Teacher & singing bowl specialist, Anthony Profeta will use Himalayan Singing bowls, Crystal Singing Bowls, tuning forks, & other vibrational tools to de-stress, restore balance, and bring well-being to your body, mind, & soul. If you are new to a Sound Bath Meditation, it is a very therapeutic form of meditation because as sound waves wash over your body, they move the brain into the more relaxed alpha & theta brainwave states. Sound meditations are wonderful for all types of meditators but are especially good for beginners because the tones & frequencies of the instruments give the mind something to hold onto & help cut through the mental chatter quieting the mind. Bring your mat, favorite blanket and pillow.Please be aware that the gate will be closed at 5:30 and entry to the classroom will be closed at 5:40 to ensure a respectful learning environment for all participants. Event Date & TimeThursday, August 13, 20265:30 p.m. – 6:30 p.m. LocationAlexander Discovery Center Price$25 members/$40 non-members (includes general admission) Registration required About the Instructor:Anthony Profeta is a former medical student turned internationally-renowned certified meditation teacher, mindfulness expert, & singing bowl specialist. He has been intensely studying the art of meditation for over two decades in monasteries and meditation centers of the US, Nepal, Italy & India. He has also been blessed to be guided & mentored by many of today’s meditation masters such as Jack Kornfield, Sharon Salzberg, Jon Kabat-Zinn, and the Dalai Lama. A “Sound Bath Meditation” is a very therapeutic form of meditation because you’re literally being “bathed” in sound waves. And as they “wash over your body”, they help guide you into a more relaxed, calm, and peaceful state by shifting you into the alpha & theta brainwave states.

About the instructor: My name is Connie Adam and I have been an elementary teacher for 29 years. During that time, I learned to weave baskets. I started weaving in 1989. I was hooked after my first basket. I started teaching basket weaving in 1993 and have continued to the present. I love sharing this skill with as many people as I can. It is one of the oldest forms of crafts and it needs to continue.
