Sound Bath with Naike Swai and Yaara Valey
Please join us for a special, electronic musical "sound bath" with Portland-based ambient musical artists Naike Swai and Yaara Valey. Each sound bath is a unique, time-based, improvised ambient musical experience to encourage deep relaxation and somatic release.
Using an introductory set of verbal cues, guests can participate from home by finding a comfortable area to rest and listen from. These events are created to help all participants find moments to turn off the active logical brain and suspend yourself in temporary thoughtlessness.
This event is FREE and OPEN TO THE PUBLIC and will be streamed live at Youtube, Facebook and Twitch. Enjoy!

Naike is member of the Hawaiian Sound School and trained in a variety of sound healing modalities, which include Biosonics.
