SUNDAY SOUND SANCTUARY – Sound Journey / Gong Bath & Guided Meditation
November 5, 2023 @ 3:30 pm - 5:15 pm GMT
You are warmly invited to join us for Sunday Sound Sanctuary! TICKETS ON EVENTBRITE.
⋘ ─ ∗ SOUND JOURNEY & GUIDED RELAXING MEDITATION∗ ─ ⋙ 3:30PM – 5:15PM
We’re providing Londoners with a kind of sanctuary space on Sundays, to deeply relax their nervous system, be themselves, release stress, and rest their body.
An opportunity to let go and reconnect with yourself. We will begin with a short guided meditation to prepare your mind and body and then bask in a variety of sound- Cosmic, Ethereal Vocals and Electronic Soundscapes, Textures, Crystal Singing Bowls, Gongs, Handpan and much much more . Soothing sounds will help to release the stress and tension.
A Unique Experience!
As everything is vibrating so are we, sometimes we can become out of tune in either mind body or spirit and dis-ease can start to take hold. Through the healing frequencies of sound therapy our bodies can be brought back in tune and we can begin to feel healthy and balanced once more.
The deep complex harmonics of multiple instruments quickly silence the mind and resonate through your body melting away boundaries between being awake and being asleep, between inside and outside.
Meditate and relax into the deepest conscious rest, cleansing, releasing, healing and harmonizing on all levels.
Now is always the perfect time to journey inward…
A beautiful way to spend a Sunday afternoon!

FACILITATORS/MUSICIANS
Seth Newman:”My purpose is to facilitate rituals that empower “the whole human being” through dance and music. Like Bioenergetics and other somatic processes, for me, Trance Dance was another door to inner discovery and transformation. I have always been passionate about contemporary forms of music and dance that reclaim our vital energy and our creative potential. I believe that “letting go into life” is synonymous, with our “surrender to the body”. Letting go to the natural flow that moves through us. Letting go, to let flow! It is through “the flow experience” that we express, feel and find ourselves, without being connected to “flow” nothing creative happens.” – Seth Newman
As a coach, Seth is dedicated to helping people calm, empower and rejuvenate their busy minds and bodies to achieve the best versions of themselves. Seth brings a wealth of experience holding heart-centered spaces. He integrates the roots of Humanistic therapies, Bioenergetics & Body Psychotherapy, Transpersonal Psychology and Tantra in creative and life-transforming workshops, retreats and trainings.
His in-depth studies, trainings, personal experiences of many therapeutic modalities such as Humanistic & Body Psychotherapy, the Human Potential Movement, 5 Rhythms, Active meditations and the teaching of the Indian Mystic Osho who he grew up with in India in the 1970s, infuse his approach to living a creative, holistic & embodied life and sharing his unique offerings with others. Seth has been facilitating regular workshops for many years.
