Temples of Sound: Interactive Sound Immersion
New Renaissance Bookshop Event Center, 1338 NW 23rd Ave, Portland, OR, US# In Person Event! Temples of Sound: Interactive Sound Immersion
Presented by Sydän Aguacielos and Guest Player from Temples of Sound
Sunday, December 12, 6:30-7:45 PM, Tickets Sliding Scale: $20-$35
Purchase tickets here!
Join Sydan Aguacielos and a guest player from Temples of Sound, a welcoming community devoted to connecting inwardly and harmonizing outwardly to make lasting positive change in the world. Discover the temple that is both your body and the shared space we enter together. Within this living temple of vibration, 14 crystal singing bowls, 2 shruti boxes, 2 shamanic drums, and voice weave resonant fields where the drone is the tone—an ever-present foundation for deep rest, inner attunement, and awakening presence. You are invited to listen deeply, rest fully, and if you feel called, join in toning, oming, or gentle vocal exploration. Naps are encouraged.
Bring a drone instrument of your own such as a shruti box, tambura, didgeridoo, harmonium, flute, or even a simple humming voice to add to the field if you wish. Vocal participation is always an invitation, never an expectation; the space is equally held for quiet receiving. Unlike a traditional sound bath, this is an interactive journey into meditation, harmony, silence, and the power of collective resonance.
Perfect for curious souls seeking connection, clarity, and a moment of sonic transformation.
Tone on. Tune in. Sound is medicine.
Mantra
We fully receive and reciprocate
the abundance required
to match the energy,
to be free and whole—
in our safety,
our sexuality,
our emotions,
our centeredness,
our intuition,
our spirits,
our desires,
and our community.

###### As the winter months draw near and the days grow colder and quieter, this midday session creates a warm space to rest, reset, and settle into your own inner stillness. Animals curl into nests and cozy hiding places during this season, and this offering invites you to do the same.
###### We’ll begin with a guided EFT meditation to release tension and clear the mind, followed by a brief progressive muscle relaxation to soften the body. After that, you can settle in for a live sound bath with crystal singing bowls, tranquility harp, and other soothing acoustic instruments that wrap you in gentle resonance.
###### The session closes slowly, giving you time to sip tea, ease back into the day, or linger a little longer in your cocoon of calm.You will leave feeling peaceful, restored, and as relaxed as a beloved house cat!
****We will provide a yoga mat and cushion. Feel free to bring a blanket or other comfort item, journal, crystals, cards and dress for warmth and comfort. Whatever will enhance your relaxation and connection experience.
