Every ticket purchased helps support shelter dogs by advancing our mission to host sound baths at the shelter and create a calming, multi-sensory environment in their kennels, using soothing sound frequencies, gentle affirmations, and rhythmic entrainment to help ease stress and support nervous system regulation.

Want to help more? Bring an approved item from the CACC donation list and we’ll drop it off at our next sound bath session for the dogs. 

What is a sound bath?
A Busy Body Retreats sound bath is a meditative experience where crystal singing bowls and chimes are played, allowing the vibrations and frequencies of the instruments to gently wash over you.

Your body naturally responds to these steady, soothing tones through a process called entrainment, where your brain and nervous system begin to sync with the rhythm of the sound. This can help shift you out of a busy, alert state and into a calmer, more relaxed one.

You’ll be invited to lie down or sit in a comfortable position as waves of sound move through the space, helping your body release tension, your mind slow down, and your nervous system settle. Some guests even incorporate gentle stretching to deepen their relaxation.

What you’ll experience
* A live, acoustic sound bath using crystal singing bowls and chimes
* Gentle, meditative tones that support nervous system regulation and emotional release
* A moment of intentional stillness, guided breathing, and a chance to truly unwind


What to bring
Mats will be provided, and to make your experience cozy and supportive, we recommend:

* A blanket and pillow for comfort
* Water
* Optional: eye mask, bolster, or anything that helps you relax more fully We recommend arriving 10 to 15 minutes early to settle in, choose your ideal distance, and make the most of your experience. 
After the sound bath, enjoy 20% off candles in the Astra & Arrow boutique plus discounts with our neighbors: The Royal Grocer, Eat Fine and Door 24 Wine & Spirits. Just mention your class with Busy Body Retreats!
