TAL- The Art of Life Mindful Resiliency Program at CU  Presents A Free Community Sound Bath

Learn About and Experience the Healing Power of Sound

Monday, September 25th | 5:30-7:00pm

Sound. It lives, moves, and breathes in us, through us and all around us. Wherever we are, sound is emanating, vibrating, and affecting us on a deep level. Sound is sacred. Sound creates. Sound can soothe. Sound unites.

Join us at Cumberland University Baird Chapel for an evening of soothing sound waves and deep tranquil music to ease your mind, relax your body, and lift your spirit. Learn about the power of sound from the founder of Frame Drum Wisdom, Karen Renée Robb as she and fellow sound healing artists, Jimmy Lopez and Milly Roze, provide the community with a beautiful respite through sound.

A sound bath is a meditative experience where participants are “bathed” in sound waves. These waves are produced by various sources, including instruments such as singing bowls, percussion, chimes, rattles, tuning forks, and even the human voice itself. These sounds when combined and played over and around the body, create a deep relaxation that leads to a state of harmony within and throughout the space where the sound is contained.

Participants can lay down or sit in chairs provided. If you choose to lay down, please bring a mat, blanket, and pillow for your comfort. It is also recommended that you bring water to hydrate during and after the experience.

There will be time allotted for questions and interaction with the sound healing artists and instruments at the end of the evening. Let yourself linger if you feel moved to.
