SUMMARY:Free! Sound Bath Meditation for Gorton's Birthday Party
DESCRIPTION:*PLEASE BRING YOUR OWN MAT! \nJoin us for a free community Sound Bath session to celebrate Gorton’s 50th Birthday! Registration is not required\, but it is appreciated! \nSound bath meditation is a practice that involves immersing oneself in soothing and harmonic sounds to promote relaxation\, deep meditation\, and overall well-being. Practitioner Joi Hunt plays a variety of instruments to create a sonic environment that envelops participants – including crystal singing bowls\, Tibetan singing bowls\, gongs\, chimes\, and other sound-making tools. \nThe vibrations and frequencies produced by the instruments in a sound bath are believed to have a positive effect on the body and mind. It is thought that these vibrations can help to induce a state of deep relaxation\, release tension and stress\, balance energy\, and promote a sense of harmony and well-being. \nPlease wear comfortable clothing and bring a yoga mat\, a small pillow\, and anything else you need for comfort while lying down\, like a blanket and bolster pillow. \nInstructor Joi Hunt: Joi Hunt is a Lake Forest resident\, a professional calligrapher\, and a Certified Sound Wellness Practitioner.  Joi plays quartz crystal singing bowls and Himalayan bowls in her melodic sound baths. \nGorton’s 50th Birthday Bash weekend is sponsored by Lake Forest Bank & Trust\nWellness classes at Gorton are sponsored by Northwestern Medicine
