Did you know? At Waters of the Spirit, you can listen for the healing power of sound.

Throughout the weekend, our theme will flow through voice, rhythm, chant, sound, and deep listening.

You might explore your own voice as a healing instrument in Letting Your Voice Flow to Create Inner Harmony — a workshop especially welcoming to those who think they “can’t sing.”

You might also rest into a Sound Bath Healing Circle, with crystal singing bowls and resonant sound offered as tools for grounding and restoration.

Come join us!
