Spring Sound Therapy via City Parks & Rec

As we move into spring, seize this opportunity to let Ruby’s guidance and instruments help you clear the old and stay grounded with fresh intentions. After a short centering, enjoy a 50-minute sound bath with her crystal bowls, gongs, chimes, ocean drum, and more. Spread the word, it's only $15!

Some of Ruby's favorite Sound Bath events are the ones she does in partnership with Bellingham's Parks & Rec Dept. They are so accessible in price, length, and physical ease, as the venue is located on the ground floor. Because of these aspects, these events are great for beginners, kids above 6, and elders who might not normally attend a sound healing event.

Ruby intuitively plays certain instruments at key moments to create a meaningful experience. For example, the bowls are often played at the beginning and end to help you become present in your body, while the gongs take center stage in the middle. This takes you on a journey that can bring relaxation, emotional release, and clarity. Instruments like the rain stick and chimes are played just before closing to clear any "winter residue" and welcome in fresh energy and vitality.

During the gong segment, multiple mallets are used to bring out the full spectrum of beneficial vibrations and frequencies. Just as a body massage works out tight and knotted muscles, the "sonic massage" of a Gong bath works out emotional issues we need to release in order to move forward. The listener only has to let go and let the sound do the work.

No prior experience with yoga, meditation, or sound energy is needed, the movement and sound will simply meet you where you are and take you wherever you need to go.

What to bring: A sound bath is usually experienced lying down on your back or a similar comfortable position, so you'll want to bring some cozy padding, especially since the floor is really hard and the room is large and can feel cool (yoga/Pilates/thick blanket/camping mat), to lay on,  or even a camping or anti gravity chair (reclining camping chair), a pillow, blanket(s) and eye covering.

Cancellation Policy: Because this event is being hosted by Bellingham Parks and Rec, their policies apply, which usually include preregistration and no refunds. However, if you can't make it, please contact me and I am happy to give you a credit toward one of my classes or events.

Work Exchange: Ruby can usually use 2 or 3 helpers for setup, so if you're interested, text her at 360-447-8778. She's happy to include extra trade for her other events/classes since the price is so low for this event.
