Free Sound Bath for Collective Community Wellness

This year has been different for sure. The OM Shoppe wants to give back to our community by offering a free sound bath concert at the Phillippi Estate Park on May 16, 4 p.m. Come early and find your perfect space in the garden by the Phillippi Creek.  

Relax into a crystalline sound bath led by the professional sound therapy practitioners and musicians of The OM Shoppe & Spa. The OM Shoppe provides more than 50 different instruments for this sound immersion in nature. An OM Singing Bowl Sound Bath is unlike any other, and is truly the gold standard for a sound healing experience.  

Drift into this vibrational immersion of sound, expertly composed with certified practitioners and musicians trained in the science of sound. Bring a blanket or cushion to sit on, a beverage to enjoy during the concert, and a mask to wear when necessary. Please remember to practice social distancing, and keep in mind, this is a meditative group experience, so please be considerate of others when deciding whether to bring pets or children.  
 Giving back just makes sense, and our communities are in need of peaceful mending on so many levels. We have all been through a collective crisis and trauma. We also believe that at-risk, homeless and marginalized communities in our nation deserve respect, love and support. Streets of Paradise does just that. We hope you will consider making a love donation to their organization, as any amount helps.  

The event is free to the public, but participants are encouraged to make a love donation to Streets of Paradise, a 501c3 non-profit dedicated to the outreach and awareness initiative to provide comfort to the homeless and at-risk communities through no-cost street access to basic necessities of life. Come join The OM Shoppe and dust off your favorite blanket to participate in this community sound healing event.  

 

Please arrive 15–30 minutes early. Phillippi Estate Park location: 5500 S Tamiami Trail, Sarasota. The OM Shoppe & Spa location: 4801 S Tamiami Trail, #5, Sarasota. For more information, call 941-706-3257 or visit TheOMShoppeAndSpa.com. For more information on Streets of Paradise, visit StreetsOfParadise.org.
