Outing Highlights
The Ghost Ranch yurt
The session takes place in the Ghost Ranch yurt, a contained, serene space on the ranch where participants recline and receive the full sonic field of the sound bath.
A two‑person sound practice
Indigo Soundscapes brings two practitioners to each session: Alejandro, a life‑long Argentine musician versed in classical, jazz and folk instruments, and Bobi, a licensed massage and sound therapist who blends sound healing with traditional bodywork.
A layered palette of instruments
The practitioners employ a wide variety of instruments — harmonium, singing bowls, sansula, hand‑made French chimes, drum, guitar, Native American flute, Argentinian ronroco, monochord and assorted percussion — to create complex vibrations intended to penetrate body and mind.
