THE SOUND

Live instruments tuned for deep relaxation

Musicians perform flutes, crystal singing bowls, chimes, drums and gongs while guiding gentle breathwork and meditation; the vibrations are intended to calm the nervous system and quiet the mind.

THE FLOAT

On a mat atop a paddleboard under the Arizona sky

Participants relax on a comfortable paddleboard mat in the pool, floating as the soundbath is performed—an intimate, low-impact way to meditate with live soundscapes.

THE OPTIONS

Float or watch from a deck chair

Sessions offer two access levels: floating on a paddleboard mat or sitting poolside in a deck chair, providing a choice of immersion or observation for different comfort levels.
