How does it work? The healing frequencies from instruments reach you and work according to the laws of physics: vibration, resonance and entrainment. The sound bypasses the mind and reaches the deepest aspects of you - physically, mentally, emotionally and beyond.
Sound baths bring people closer in a relaxing atmosphere.
The session consists of breathwork and body awareness, soundbath and cacao ceremony and is offered in a small circle capped at 5 for a high quality experience.
