About this event
Join us for the regeneration. 'The Sound Healing Symphony' is back!
This is a beautiful, outdoor event— we're going to create the perfect afternoon, culminating in a proper concert at sunset.
The nature at this East Bay is beautiful— rolling hills and gorgeous groves of trees. Just walking up to the venue is lovely. We’re going to turn the groves into gong sanctuaries you can lay back and relax in, a silent disco you can dance to, and a perfect spot for a picnic and tea.
Once we've connected and celebrated as a community, we will gather in the amphitheater to experience 'The Sound Healing Symphony', right at sunset.
