Soundbath Experience

A Soundbath is a deeply relaxing listening experience. During the session you'll lie comfortably on the floor while listening to the calming sounds of gongs, singing bowls and gentle percussion. There is no physical activity involved and no previous experience is necessary

The Soundbath will be led by Jez Smith of Playing in Time, a fully qualified sound therapist with around 40 years' experience as a historical musician. Jez regularly hosts Soundbath experiences in unique venues including Kew Gardens, RHS Wisley, Alice Holt Forest and historic buildings across the South of England.

Please bring:

• Yoga mat or camping mat
• Blanket (or two if you prefer)
• Pillow
• Eye covering
• Bottle of water

Spare mats are available if requested in advance.

Wear warm, comfortable clothing that allows you to relax. As you'll be lying still for around an hour, we recommend bringing extra layers or blankets to keep comfortable throughout the session.

No. The session is suitable for complete beginners as well as those who have attended Soundbaths before. Everything will be explained before the session begins.

You'll lie comfortably on your mat while simply listening to the sounds around you. The aim is to rest and relax. Most guests remain awake but often describe reaching a calm, dream-like state during the experience.
