The Sound Healing Symphony at St. Mark's Cathedral

We are so grateful to be back for "The Sound Healing Symphony" at St. Marks Cathedral! 'The Sound Healing Symphony' is the largest sound bath gathering in the country, bringing together world-class meditative musicians to guide you to a state of peace. During the event, participants lie down and are bathed head to toe in sound— it's a very hypnotic, ethereal experience. —— Sound Meditation Presents is a nonprofit on a mission to make the healing power of sound accessible to everyone, through immersive concerts, educational programs, and our sound bath app. Over the last ten years we've shared 185 performances with more than 60,000 people, and our dream next year is to go nationwide. Sound Meditation (often known as 'sound healing') is the practice of listening to soothing sounds to reach profound states of clarity and relaxation. It opens up deep meditative states that are usually unreachable without considerable effort. You will come away with a clear mind and a deeper appreciation for the wonder of sound. We strongly recommend this event for people who have trouble meditating, or feel like they just "can't get there." Give this a try! —— Our symphony is typically conducted by Guy Douglas, and features an array of amazing & talented musicians on gongs, crystal singing bowls, Tibetan singing bowls, Native American flutes, Didgeridoo, Celtic Harp, Monochord, Vibraphone and so much more.
