Summer Sound Healing Workshop with Kellen Smith
presented by Ebb & Flow Wellness Festival
Wednesday, July 29 | 10:30am

Experience the magic of Sound Healing on the water at the Bald Head Island Yacht Club on July 29 at 10:30 am for a Summer Sound Healing Workshop with Kellen Smith.
What Happens During a Sound Bath?
During a Sound Bath, you simply lie back and get comfortable while instruments like crystal singing bowls, chimes, drums, or other healing sounds are played around you. There is nothing you need to do except rest, listen, and receive. Everyone experiences a Sound Bath differently; there is no right or wrong experience, only your own.
What is Sound Healing?
Sound Healing is a practice that guides the body into a more relaxed state. Soothing sounds, frequencies, and vibrations help calm the mind and relax the body. These slow and steady sounds affect the brain & nervous system, helping the body shift into a more relaxed, parasympathetic state, which leads to slower breathing, reduced muscle tension, and a quieter mental state-which is why you might leave a sound healing session feeling deeply calm, grounded, or even sleepy.
Discover how sound frequencies promote relaxation & healing at our Summer Sound Healing Workshop with Kellen Smith presented by Ebb & Flow Festival.
This event is open to the general public, including BHIYC Members and their guests.
Mats, props, blankets are provided. Please bring a bottle of water or beverage. The BHIYC is a semi-covered porch, but you may wish to wear sunscreen.
