Local Beacon Sound Facilitator Joule L’Adara hosts a monthly immersive sound experience to delight your senses and invite inner reflection amplified by the power of the Full Moon.
Lay down and close your eyes to “soak” in the meditative sounds of ethereal vocals with therapeutic instruments including monochord, handpan, sansula, singing bowls, gong, tongue drums, rattles and more.
Through a process known as entrainment, you may experience deep relaxation and flow states, allowing you to access deeply creative parts of your mind and offering inner space for reflection.
Participants emerge with a feeling of renewal and expanded awareness that may then be expressed through their art - or the art of life. Each month Joule will be joined by different sound artists of the Hudson Valley so that every Sounding Soak will be completely unique!
