Let the soundwaves transport you to a place of relaxation & peace! During this experience Meditation Teacher & singing bowl specialist, Anthony Profeta will use Himalayan Singing bowls, Crystal Singing Bowls, tuning forks, & other vibrational tools to de-stress, restore balance, and bring well-being to your body, mind, & soul. If you are new to a Sound Bath Meditation, it is a very therapeutic form of meditation because as sound waves wash over your body, they move the brain into the more relaxed alpha & theta brainwave states.

Join us for the ultimate sound healing event! Join meditation teacher & singing bowl specialist Anthony Profeta for a very unique and immersive 90-minute vibrational sound therapy spa session. During this vibrational sound therapy session, Anthony and his partner will create the ultimate environment of well-being. Participants will lay on a yoga mat in the middle of the room and be fully immersed in healing tones and singing bowls' vibrational frequencies, which will be set up around the room in a North, South, East, & West direction. This configuration creates an energetic frequency grid around the attendees.

Let the soundwaves transport you to a place of relaxation & peace! During this experience Meditation Teacher & singing bowl specialist, Anthony Profeta will use Himalayan Singing bowls, Crystal Singing Bowls, tuning forks, & other vibrational tools to de-stress, restore balance, and bring well-being to your body, mind, & soul. If you are new to a Sound Bath Meditation, it is a very therapeutic form of meditation because as sound waves wash over your body, they move the brain into the more relaxed alpha & theta brainwave states. Sound meditations are wonderful for all types of meditators but are especially good for beginners because the tones & frequencies of the instruments give the mind something to hold onto & help cut through the mental chatter quieting the mind. Bring your mat, favorite blanket and pillow.Please be aware that the gate will be closed at 5:30 and entry to the classroom will be closed at 5:40 to ensure a respectful learning environment for all participants.

He has been intensely studying the art of meditation for over two decades in monasteries and meditation centers of the US, Nepal, Italy & India. He has also been blessed to be guided & mentored by many of today's meditation masters such as Jack Kornfield, Sharon Salzberg, Jon Kabat-Zinn, and the Dalai Lama. A "Sound Bath Meditation" is a very therapeutic form of meditation because you're literally being "bathed" in sound waves.
