Ground-based Soundbaths

Stable, supported, and deeply calming

Ground-based soundbaths take place while you rest on the floor, supported by mats, blankets, and cushions.
The body is supported by the ground, offering a clear sense of stability and reassurance.

For many people, this format feels familiar and settling, allowing the nervous system to slow down and the mind to soften without distraction.

Ground-based soundbaths offer a steady, accessible way to experience sound in the body.

Sessions are held at Coed Hills Rural Arts Centre and Down to Earth Project, Little Bryn Site. Dates and availability are listed below.
