​What to expect
​
Experience a sense of potentiality and infinite possibility as you surrender into sound. The heart of this experience is the beautiful hypnotic rhythms and harmonies of the harp.
​
You'll be guided through relaxation and deep listening ready to receive the vibrationally shifting Tibetan and crystal sound healing, helping to restore harmony to out of balance vibrations — caused by stress, illness, or emotional challenge.
​
Founder and pianist Christina McMaster will guide you with tibetan bowl sound healing vibrations and powerful deep gong resonances with Louise Bugg.
In a deeply relaxed state, you'll be open to emotional release and surrender into the spiritual realm as you feel the music, even before you hear it. This is a rare opportunity to experience the complete five movement piece played by Sony recording artist and leading harpist Cecelia de Maria.
You'll leave feeling rested, connected, revitalised.
