Registered attendees will receive a Zoom link and information on how to join the day before the event\, as well as the recording of the event. \n“Who\, in our chaotic world\, doesn’t need a calm\, peaceful meditation experience\, especially one using a method—sound—that we wouldn’t do ourselves? And the best is being led by Jill Stein who really knows what she is doing with a variety of bowls being struck to make engagingly different sounds. Her soft voice as she describes the process adds to the sense of enormous calm that you feel. Whatever makes us feel more and better\, in the hands of an expert\, is a good thing!” – A Sound Meditation Participant \nCome learn about the seven main chakras\, relax\, and enjoy a sound meditation from your own home! Make sure you’re well hydrated\, then find a comfortable place to recline or a supportive chair to sit in. Join us to hear the relaxing sounds of a Tibetan singing bowl\, crystal singing bowls\, a steel tongue drum\, tuning forks\, and a rain stick. \nPlease note: sound meditation is considered safe\, but those with pacemakers and pregnant people are asked to consult with their doctor before participating. All attendees (including virtual) will be asked to sign a waiver to participate.  \n
