Sound Bath

Every third Sunday of the month.
The April Sound Bath is about sensing and cultivating the abundant beauty in and all around us as nature, once again, amazes us with the budding of life! Iris will feature a cultural variety of instruments including ‘Resting Bells’ and 'Mountain Inkin' which emanate very calming and nurturing tones when softly activated.
