Surrender to a deeply soothing experience where sound and touch blend in perfect harmony. Join Emily and Charlie for an evening designed to quiet the mind, release tension, and renew the body.
Experience intentional soundscapes using crystal singing bowls and other acoustic instruments in C major, concert tuning. C major is pure, spiritual, free of burden, full of imagination; the key of innocence. The vibrations and the melodies woven throughout are designed to guide listeners on an inner journey. One that restores inner peace, engages the imagination, and invites relaxation, calm, and deep rest that feels like a waking dream. (You may even nap!)
While participants unwind, Emily offers a limited number of mini-massage upgrades, adding the grounding comfort of expert therapeutic touch to the experience. The evening concludes with a peaceful 15-minute closing where guests may enjoy tea or water, share reflections, or continue resting quietly in the space.
Charlie Sebastian Short is a certified quantum sound healing practitioner, composer, and professional musician with decades of experience exploring how melody, vibration, and intention create inner harmony. charliesoundpractice.com
Emily Ford-Lemos, LMT specializes in deep tissue and neuromuscular therapy, offering intuitive, restorative touch that supports relaxation, balance, and overall well-being. kinectmassage.com

- A shared prayer drawn from universal truths across many traditions
