Join us for a deeply rejuvenating Sound Immersion experience led by Chris from Harmonic Essence. This immersive session, often referred to as a Sound Bath or Sound Journey, offers a sensory journey that transcends description through words. The profound sense of serenity it imparts can be likened to the cumulative effects of years of meditation practice, all condensed into a single session, leaving a lasting impact that can extend for days, even weeks in some cases. Participating is effortlessly simple. As a participant, all you need to do is show up and either lay down (in most cases) or, for some, assume a meditative posture or sit in a chair. An array of sounds, emanating from multiple expansive healing gongs, precious metal Himalayan Singing Bowls, Clear Quartz Crystal Singing Bowls, Chimes, Healing Drums & Percussion, Native American Flute, Heartfelt Vocal toning/chanting, and the enchanting Hand Pan, guides you on a one-of-a-kind journey. Each experience is entirely unique, and prior experience is not necessary. This extraordinary journey provides nourishment for the soul, inducing relaxation, calming the nervous system, silencing the mind, triggering the release of healing hormones, and facilitating entry into deep meditative states by quelling your body's fight or flight response. It's also known to have a direct positive impact on the Vagus Nerve. Extensive research supports the health benefits of Sound Healing, including: Stress reduction, Decreased anxiety and depression, Improved memory, Reduced blood pressure, Pain alleviation, Lower cholesterol, Enhanced sleep quality, and Reduced risk of heart disease and stroke.

Beautiful Machine couch in her underwear and on long drives to see her family (while someone else was driving, of course). They mark a new chapter in her songwriting career, and in her life. I’ve been falling deeper in love with my body and the Earth In a time when we’re seemingly obsessed with building ‘bigger and better’ technology, all I can think about is how the natural world is so brilliantly designed — it’s the most beautiful machine we’ll ever have. So, this album is a love letter to myself, my body, the earth and all of humanity. As we keep progressing, my only wish is that we remember we ARE the natural world — and we must care for ourselves and each other accordingly.” Influenced by the lyrical honesty of Jensen McRae, Brandi Carlisle & Ani DiFranco, the anthemic energy of Maggie Rogers, and the rhythmic flow of artists like LaRussell and Connor Price, Sam’s unique sensibility for marrying poetry with pop shines as she effortlessly weaves her personal truth into the fabric of the global zeitgeist.
