Somatic Sound Healing Journey

About this event

Join us on Sunday, September 27th for an intimate and restorative 2-hour 15-minute experience designed to help you reconnect with your body, cultivate nervous system awareness, and create space for relaxation, reflection, and renewal.

In this small-group workshop, we will explore the connection between the nervous system, the body, and our lived experiences through gentle somatic practices, guided awareness exercises, and an immersive sound journey. Rather than beginning with information alone, we will start by experiencing what it feels like to arrive, orient, and reconnect with ourselves.

Together, we will explore practices that invite greater body awareness, including grounding, orienting to our surroundings, and noticing the subtle messages our bodies are always communicating. As we gently move between our internal experience and the world around us, we'll practice orienting and resourcing, allowing the nervous system to settle, restore balance, and gradually expand its capacity for flexibility and resilience.

This event will be facilitated by:

Michelle Gilman

Somatic Experiencing Practitioner in Training (Intermediate Level) & Clinical Social Work/Therapist, LCSW

Melissa Dorish, The Sound Healing Librarian

Certified Sound Healer

Michelle will guide participants through a somatic experience rooted in Somatic Experiencing principles, helping you explore how the nervous system responds to stress and how we can develop greater flexibility, resilience, and self-awareness. Through simple, accessible education and experiential practices, you will learn how the body plays an important role in healing and regulation.

Melissa will guide participants through a sensory meditation and immersive sound bath using therapeutic sound instruments designed to support relaxation, mindfulness, and deep rest. You will be invited to listen deeply, notice sensations in the body, and experience sound as a pathway to slowing down and reconnecting with yourself.

The event will include:

• Guided nervous system and somatic awareness practices

• Experiential sensory meditation

• Gentle reflection and integration

• A restorative sound bath experience

• Time to journal, process, and carry your experience into everyday life

This workshop is an invitation to step away from the pace of daily life and create a space where you can listen inward, reconnect with your body, and remember what it feels like to come home to yourself. Participants will lie on inflatable lounge chairs during the sound bath for a completely comfortable experience!

Your ticket includes a specially created essential oil blend, gemstone, organic tea bag, chocolate and affirmation. Eye masks are also offered for anyone who'd like one.
