Catarina And Alex
Connecting Through Sound
Workshop Details
Come into a space of tuning, a space for nourishment and rebalance. Prepare to shift your focus inwards to fully listen to your own mental, emotional and physical bodies. We aim to help you reset and reharmonise; to clear the chaos and help you find peace. We begin our session with some gentle movement and breathwork to the sounds of the Native American flute, feeling the vibrations travel through you. We will then have a relaxing sound journey blending instruments and techniques from different cultures. Allow the Tibetan and crystal bowls to relax you, the gong to transform you and Catarina's voice to soothe you and hold you alongside nature sounds from the ocean drum, rainstick, conch shells, bells and chimes.
