We are delighted to welcome the founders of Laboratorium Pieśni, Alina Jurczyszyn & Kamila Bigus, for a spirit-led night of magic! For those unable to attend their PNW workshop, we are hosting a sound bath led by Alina and Kamila, followed by a Q&A and a community music circle. This is their first US workshop tour and this sound bath will be a rare treat indeed! Admission covers their visa and travel accommodations. Space is limited.

THE SOUND BATH:

You are invited to bath in healing sound as Alina & Kamila invoke spirit thru traditional polyphonic singing, chanting and the use of improvised percussion. The instructors will intuitively sing and play instruments as they move about the space.

As you lay or sit comfortably, you will be assisted to discover deep relaxation as the instructors of Laboratorium Pieśni, Alina &Kamila, share their intuitive sound techniques in this hour-long event, followed by a Q&A session and improvised community “jam.”

Remember your magic during this sound immersion with intuitive singing, shamanic druming, violin, singing bowls, shruti box, koshi and other instruments. This music meditation is a magical ceremony of primary songs that will give you the power to open your heart, release your tension and purify yourself from thought.

A yoga mat and comfy shawl or small blanket. Folding chairs available for those who need to sit.
