Sound Sanctuary's Solstice: A Gong/Sound & Frequency Experience

COMFORT & JOY: SOUND SANCTUARY'S WINTER SOLSTICE EDITION

Celebrate this sacred season and gift yourself some peace with this thoughtfully curated evening for you to unwind, nourish your nervous system and anchor & align your energy within a potent healing container.

Heading into this Winter Solstice, outside of the hustle and bustle of the season...

Take a sacred pause.

Come home to YOU.

Exactly as you are.

Allow yourself to breathe and receive because you ARE worthy!

This sound offering continually evolves and no two are ever the same. It's intentionally longer than the average experience so that there is no rush and you can fully sink into it to receive the maximum benefits.

More than ever we need these spaces to rest, release, relax, connect and go within. I intend for you to be held in sound and the intention is to feel lighter, more grounded and more connected to the beauty and magic in this world and within YOU as you enter this holiday season.

The Andrew in Picton is a gorgeous, open, warm and inviting sanctuary space that boats amazing acoustics and was truly made for this sort of evening together. It will be cozy, magically lit, and so deeply relaxing! We've hosted multiple sold out events here and the community support is deeply appreciated.

(If you want/need ALLLLL of the info, you can read more details about the experience, it's elements and the flow of the evening further below)

Sliding scale spaces are for those who wish to attend but require an adjustment (no judgements or questions) to make it accessible. Suggested Donation is $33-$55 but I truly never wish for cost to be something that excludes people from these offerings so you are invited to pay what you are able whether that is $1.00 or $65.00.

**Full refunds issued in the event of unforseeable event cancellation.

In the event of a winter cancellation in inclement weather you'll be offered a space at a makeup date or future event.

PLEASE BRING:

• Your own Yoga mat
• Water Bottle with water
• Blanket, Cushion/Bolster & Pillow (plus anything to make your sound bath extra cozy since the lay down portion of this evening is at least 60 minutes comfort is important!).
• Layers of comfortable clothing - temperatures naturally fluxuate during sound meditation.
• Journal & Pen (optional)
• There are a limited number of bolsters available and by request in advance some mats

**Suitable for ALL experience levels and bodies because we honour our own pace and our body's innate wisdom.

Much of this experience will be seated or laying down with some gentle optional breath & movement to warm up the body and prepare it to receive the sound healing & frequencies. IF you require them, I do have two zero gravity chairs - reach out ahead of time to book them (aliciawrightwilliams@gmail.com), OR you are welcome to use one of the comfortable and supportive chairs at St. Andrews as well if being on the floor on a yoga mat isn’t suitable for your body at this time or at any point during the evening.

Gongs and other instruments used 'can' potentially aggravate those with pace-makers, hearing-aids, sensitivity to loud sounds, etc. If you have concerns, please don't hesitate to reach out to discuss further. *

More about this experience:

Inviting your own pace, and honouring your own body’s wisdom; we’ll tune in and open the space together with a Mantra and be guided through some light breath work/pranayama and gentle movement to help our bodies and minds settle in for a deep healing session. We’ll then be invited to lay down (for 60+ minutes) to bathe in the sounds & vibrations of the Gong and other intuitively selected vibrational instruments (singing bowls, chimes, ocean drum etc.) during a long sonic massage for your cells.

You'll receive some hands off group energy balancing/Reiki with chimes and other vibrational instruments as Alicia travels the room giving us each some personal attention and starts to call our awareness back.

A seated group mantra or vocal toning meditation will then bring everyone back from the sound journey gently and help to tap into the potent healing power of your own voice to close out the experience.

You're welcome to float away afterwards, but you'll never be rushed out, and you're invited to stay to connect with tea and light nibbles and to ask questions as well as play and explore the variety of instruments for yourself if desired.

The beautiful energy and healing that you experience in a group like this is a deep and clear experience of your OWN beautiful light and a result of you showing up for YOU. It’s a privilege for me to hold space for you to witness this.

More on the Gong/Sound:

With their wide range of frequencies, tones and harmonies; Gongs are one of the most powerful ancient healing instruments. At times provoking/activating; they can also quickly induce a state of deep meditation and relaxation as well as powerfully shifting stagnant energy and clearing the subconscious mind.The vibrations can relax your nervous system, remove energetic stagnancy, clear the mind, and bring you towards harmony. The effects are often felt for many days, and paired with Mantra Meditation it’s even more potent as the practice prepares your system to be more receptive.

Kundalini Yoga is an ancient technology and a powerful practice for this modern world that works quickly to reduce stress, improve mental clarity, and elevate moods. It works directly on the endocrine and nervous systems to positively impact your life. In this Sound Sanctuary experience we will be focusing on deep rest and rebalancing through sound with just a gentle warmup (that can be done seated/at your own pace) to prepare the physical body to receive.

Think: deep release, relaxation, renewal and balance.
