What is a sound bath?

A Busy Body Retreats sound bath is a meditative experience where crystal singing bowls and chimes are played live, with no speakers and no microphones, just pure sound and vibration.

You will be invited to lie down or sit in a comfortable position as waves of sound wash over you, helping your body release tension, your mind find stillness, and your nervous system settle. Some guests even incorporate gentle stretching to deepen their relaxation.

⸻

What you will 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

* Yoga mat, blanket, or chair
* 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.

Please remember this is an outdoor event, so there may be mosquitos, bugs, or sun. Come prepared with bug spray, sunscreen, comfortable clothing, or anything else that will help you feel comfortable outside for the full hour.
