### Aloka — Park Lab with Graham Slick

#### A Sound Bath Nervous System Reset in the Forest.

Let the ground take your weight, the bowls take your thoughts, and the trees do the breathing.
Aloka — Park Lab is Aloka's summer nature meditation ceremony — 90 minutes of sound, breath, and somatic practice held on the forested slopes of Mt. Tabor. A practice of grounding and balance. A reset under open sky. The bowls bring the medicine; the park does the rest.
Six Sundays across the summer. New friends warmly welcomed. Regulars even more so.
Park Lab is part of the LAB series — Listen · Allow · Belong.

#### THE ARC

A 90-minute outdoor ritual, shaped by the day and the light.
Open — Gather on the grass. Settle in. Land in the body with a brief somatic tune-in.
Breath — Guided breathwork to drop into the parasympathetic.
Sound — Crystal bowls, Tibetan bowls, and shamanic instruments under the canopy.
Listen — 2-minute listen.
Close — Energy work and Graham's signature send-off. Out into the long summer evening.

#### THE ESSENTIALS

  • Arrive on time. We start with the light.
  • BYO setup. Bring your own yoga mat, blankets, and pillows. An eye mask if you want the dark.
  • Dress for the park. Layers. Body temp drops when you stop moving.
  • Hydrate. Bring water. Snacks welcome.
  • Weather-honest. Light rain we hold space; heavy weather we reschedule. Updates by email day-of.
  • Outdoor capacity — held to 24. Advance booking recommended.

#### A FEW TIPS

  • A wool blanket under you, a lighter one over — the ground pulls heat.
  • Sunscreen on, hat optional — the canopy filters most of it.
  • Phones on silent and tucked away. The forest is the field.
  • Linger after if you want. Mt. Tabor in golden hour is its own medicine.
