FAQ

What is a Sound Bath?
A Sound Bath is an immersive sonic experience created from various instruments such as singing bowls, gongs, rainsticks, drums and vocals to create a container of sound for participants to be enveloped in.

Am I standing, sitting or lying during a Sound Bath?You will sit or lie down, depending on the ticket you purchased for the event. Lying down sections include the Stage, Center Terrace and Boxes.

*Some yoga mats will be available to use, but attendees are encouraged to bring their own.

I know what to wear to the symphony, but what do I wear to a Sound Bath?
Something comfortable! No need to break out your suit and tie. You will be sitting or lying down in a meditative, relaxed state which may cause you to feel cold. Because of this, you may want to layer or bring a blanket to maximize your comfort during the performance.

What will I experience during a Sound Bath, and how will I feel after?
Individual experiences will vary, but many people find themselves slipping into a meditative state, deep relaxation or a sense of tension, release and some even fall asleep! After, you may feel energized, sleepy or even emotional. It really depends on your energy and where you are in your physical space in the days leading up to a Sound Bath. However you feel afterward, honor it. Rest if you feel tired, don't forget to hydrate, and fuel your body with a good meal.

What should I bring to a Sound Bath?
Maximizing your comfort will help you maximize your experience. Items that may help you get the most out of the Sound Bath:

  • A small pillow and/or blanket
  • A yoga mat
  • An eye mask
  • A sweater
  • Any crystals you want to charge in the sound and vibration
  • An open mind

Do I need experience meditating or with a Sound Bath to attend?
No prior experience is needed. The Sound Bath leader is there to guide attendees through the process.

Are photos and videos allowed?
Photos and videos are allowed as long as they do not detract from the experience of those around you. We recommended grabbing any photos or videos before or after the performance so that you can be truly present during the performance.

What does the music sound like?
The best way we can describe it is enveloping. It can be dissonant or harmonic. Many sounds at once or a single gong ringing alone. The beauty of a Sound Bath is that the sound evolves throughout the performance.
