Kia ora neighbours. This is the invitation for interactive SOOTHING SOUND JOURNEY.

NEWMOON, SUNDAY, 05/05/2019 10.30am – 4.30pm

Busy life? Stress, exhaustion, anxiety, autumn tiredness? Or are you just curious to try something new and flow on soundwaves? Come and join this professionally-led day of gentle sounds, soothing voices, calming harmonies and silent meditation. Even if you never did anything like this, you will discover the potential of sound vibrations and frequencies, treat yourself by listening to and maybe even co-creating yummy sounds. We will also enjoy some wilder group drumming, guided improvisation, waiata and subtle dance. No pressure, everything is optional.
