Summer Solstice 2hr Extended Sound Bath @ Clyro Village Hall, Hay-on-Wye

This month brings the Summer Solstice ☀️

The longest day of the year.

A moment to pause and appreciate what the light has made possible.

☀️ The warmth of the sun
🌸 The colours of summer
🐦 The birdsong
🌅 The long evenings
🍓 The seasonal abundance that sunlight makes possible

And perhaps a moment to reflect on what has flourished within you since the darker months. What personal growth, insights, relationships, passions, or changes have emerged since winter's quieter, more inward season?

In a season where we may be inclined to stay busy, make the most of the daylight, and fill every moment, this Solstice Sound Meditation offers a gentle reminder to slow down.

To reflect.
To notice.
To appreciate.
To savour the season we're in.

Have you ever wished a sound bath could last a little longer?

This extended 2-hour session offers more time to switch off, rest, and perhaps drift a little deeper towards that still space where time fades, awareness expands, and you feel at one with nature, the elements, and the wider universe.

☀️🍃🎶💚

Session Duration:  
2hrs

Space: Clyro Village Hall

Restrictions: See contraindications and special considerations below before buying your ticket

Age: Not suitable for children under 14, children 15-16 to be accompanied by a guardian

The 2hr sound bath combines elements of our 2 different kinds of sound bath in one continuous uninterrupted class....

🎶 Himalayan Brainwave Bowl Meditation:  These singing bowls were hand picked across Nepal for their specific frequencies, which create ethereal binaural tones when played together in certain combinations and cause your brainwaves to vibrate slower and shift towards a relaxing meditative state.

🚀 Gong & Sound Journey: Facilitated by 3 powerful gongs, each with own character, vibration and range of frequencies, along with other sound healing instruments, including an ocean drum, koshi chimes, shall chimes, meditation flow chimes, rain pillar and chakapa

Often people report feeling deeply relaxed, subsequently sleeping better than they have for a while, whilst others leave feeling energised and full of vigour. Some also say that aches, pains or traumas are eased as their body and mind let go.

Whatever your personal experience, you may well let go of your daily stresses and anxieties, and leave the session feeling tranquil and relaxed.
