Join us for a transformative afternoon as we delve into the art of collective rest. “Settle into Your Stillpoint” is a Sonic Sound Bath and Restorative Somatic Cellular Breathing experience, meticulously designed to soothe the autonomic nervous system and foster deep relaxation.

Experience Includes:

  • Guided by: Alyssa
  • Live Music by: Emiliano Ena and Jessica Rosario

Through a harmonious blend of breathwork, sound vibrations, guided visualization, voice, and restorative shapes, we will lead you into a tranquil state. This immersive session aims to welcome the dorsal and sympathetic systems into a state of stillness, promoting a healthy parasympathetic nervous system (PSNS). As a result, you’ll experience slower heart and breathing rates, lower blood pressure, and enhanced digestion and metabolism, paving the way for recovery and overall well-being.

Highlights:

  • Soma and Sound Seminar: A lecture on the Science of Sound and Body Psychology. 
  • Breath Sound Vibrations: Pure acoustic and live soundscapes to immerse your senses.
  • Guided Visualization: Thoughtfully crafted visual journeys to calm your mind.
  • Restorative Shapes: Gentle postures to ease your body into a state of rest.
  • Voice: Soothing vocal guidance to enhance your experience.
  • Tamalpa Life/Art Processing: Integrative Art Making tools to savor and stretch the essence of self-regulation.
