Craving a reset? Sunday at 12:30 pm, Elemental Sound with Rachel, healing connects us to nature’s classical elements: earth, air, fire, water, and ether/space while also connecting to the sounds in nature and around us. Allow yourself to be gently “bathed” in waves of healing sound as Rachel guides you through an immersive journey into the elements. Using the power of vibration, this unique sound bath invites you into a deeper state of rest, awareness, and balance, where sound isn’t just heard, but felt in every cell of your body. 2509 Honolulu Ave. Montrose
