Feeling stressed about exams, lectures, coursework? Sound baths can be a luxurious solution - lie back, close your eyes, and let our facilitator Cheryl whisk you away through sound via a large resonating gong. You'll feel it vibrating through you, accompanied by silky singing bowls, and low lighting in a comfortable and meditative space.
Join other women and Cheryl for a very relaxing hour between lectures to refresh you.
What exactly is a sound bath?
A sound bath is a meditative experience where you lie down and let waves of sound wash over you. There’s no water involved. The “bath” part comes from how sound surrounds you, like you’re being gently soaked in vibration.
Sound healing isn’t new. For centuries, people across many cultures - including Tibetan and Buddhist traditions - have used sound to ease pain, calm the mind, and support healing.
Today’s sound baths use a mix of ancient and modern instruments, like:
You usually don’t need to chant, breathe in a certain way, or focus on your thoughts. You just listen, and let the tones and vibrations do the work.
