The Art of Sound - New Moon Sound Bath - Chakra, Reiki, Art & Tea (event fees)

***Please note this is a ticketed event. Please purchase your tickets via Eventbrite to confirm your attendance via this link: https://www.eventbrite.com.au/e/1983072709858?aff=oddtdtcreator ***

The New Moon is a powerful and auspicious time for new beginnings and fresh energy, turning your mind inward and reflecting on what you want to bring into our life and setting intentions to open the way new energy and experiences to enter your life.

Join us for a sacred 2 hour ceremonial experience designed to support your intention setting, manifestation, growth and transformation during the New Moon phase.

During this intimate gathering, you will be immersed in a nourishing sound journey complemented by chakra crystal grid work, guided intention setting and affirmations, Reiki energy, aura symbol art, with then event closing with a New Moon tea to connect with each other.

This is an invitation to go inward — to plant the seeds of your intentions - desires, goals or dreams you wish to bring into our life.

As you rest comfortably supported by the earth beneath you, you will be bathed in a meditative soundscape and surrounded by non-invasive Reiki energy to help support your energy and integrate with your seeds of intentions, while also releasing any energy blocks, to bring your body and spirit into alignment for manifesting. The beautiful vibrations of crystal singing bowls, chimes, gong, drum, and shakers will weave together to create frequencies that support balance, harmony, and deep energetic recalibration.

As the layers of sound unfold, you may drift into a profoundly restful state where the body resets and the spirit restores. This is your opportunity to soften, surrender, and return to your natural state of peace and wholeness.

If you feel called to this sacred, ceremonial, soul-nurturing experience, we invite you to reserve your place. Only six spots available for this intimate New Moon gathering.

####** What to Expect**

This ceremonial event will commence with a beautiful clearing of energy before entering the sacred space, you will then be guided to set up your very own** Chakra Crystal Grid **and set personal intentions for each Chakra crystal. You will be able to take your crystals home at the end.

You will then be guided into a** New Moon **Personal Intention Setting ritual, where you will write down some of your desires, goals or dreams of what you wish to grow over the coming lunar cycle.

Next you will be invited to set a positive, personal intention for the** New Moon **phase and to hold it in your mind during the Sound Bath.

Following this, you will be ready to settle into the nurturing Sound Bath focussing on chakra clearing and balancing. Beautiful instruments such as crystal singing bowls, chimes, gong, drum and rattle will help shift energy and reset your body for inner harmony.

During the Sound Bath, our gentle and intuitive Reiki Healer will be sharing Reiki energy around each participant and she will be energetically tapping into your aura to draw your very own energy symbol - a piece of energetic art to take home after the ceremony.

To conclude the event, we will come together, to sit and sip on** New Moon ceremonial tea**. You will also receive a gorgeous** New Moon mini tea gift pack **to take home to enjoy on the next New Moon.
