These will incorporate different sound instruments including Himalayan Bowls\, Wind Gongs\, Crystal Bowls\, Koshi Chimes\, Shamanic Drums\, which have a unique ability to relax and calm the nervous system. This will bring your mind into the Alpha and Theta pattern\, which is the restful and creative state.\n  \n \n\n \n  \nSound enters the healing equation from several directions: It may alter cellular functions through energetic effects; it may entrain biological systems to function more homeostatically; it may becalm the mind and therefore the body; or it may have emotional effects\, which influence neurotransmitters and neuropeptides\, which in turn help to regulate the immune system—the healer within.\n  \n“Simon’s sound bath was an incredible journey into deep relaxation and healing. At one point\, I completely lost awareness of my body—truly profound! His beautiful use of Himalayan singing bowls (my favourites)\, especially around and over my body\, created a profound sense of calm and rest. The integration of various instruments\, each serving a unique purpose in the sound bath\, left me feeling weightless by the end. I walked away feeling serene\, rejuvenated\, and completely restored.” – Ali P.\n  \n“Simon’s sound bath was a powerful exploration into deep rest and healing. As a facilitator I have experienced many sound journeys\, this experience was exceptional. I felt safe\, gently held and deeply nurtured.” – Pip T.\n \n  \n“A wonderful serene player\, Gentle like a hummingbird….  A man who knows his Singing bowls… Simon respectfully listens to the vibrations of sound and intuitively connects with them… my body floated and I shed a tear of gratitude full of love for the world.” – Dianne G.\n \n  \nReserve your space here:\n\n \n \n \n \n  \n  URL:https://www.sculpturebythelakes.co.uk/event/evening-sound-baths/ LOCATION:Sculpture by the Lakes\, Pallington Lakes\, Dorchester\, Dorset\, DT2 8QU\, United Kingdom CATEGORIES:Wellbeing ATTACH;FMTTYPE=image/jpeg:https://www.sculpturebythelakes.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/2024/11/Singing-Bowls.jpg END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;TZID=UTC:20250423T100000 DTEND;TZID=UTC:20250424T160000 DTSTAMP:20260604T232954 CREATED:20231129T134457Z LAST-MODIFIED:20250103T161224Z UID:10000053-1745402400-1745510400@www.sculpturebythelakes.co.uk SUMMARY:Create your own Kitchen Garden DESCRIPTION:Embark on a journey into the world of kitchen gardening with our Head Kitchen Gardener ChiChi and trusty assistant Copper the dog.

This powerful practice will leave you feeling energized\, centred\, and ready to embrace the next part of your retreat experience.\n  \n \n  \nImmerse Yourself in a Soothing Sound Bath\nFollowing the breathwork session\, we will go straight into a sound bath incorporating different sound instruments including Himalayan Bowls\, Gongs\, Crystal Bowls\, Koshi Chimes\, Shamanic Drums\, which have a unique ability to relax and calm the nervous system. This will bring your mind into the Alpha and Theta pattern\, which is the restful and creative state.\n  \nAs you lie comfortably\, the resonant sounds will guide you into a meditative state\, allowing you to let go of any remaining tension or stress. The healing frequencies will work to restore balance within your body\, leaving you feeling refreshed and rejuvenated.\n  \nSound enters the healing equation from several directions: It may alter cellular functions through energetic effects; it may entrain biological systems to function more homeostatically; it may becalm the mind and therefore the body; or it may have emotional effects\, which influence neurotransmitters and neuropeptides\, which in turn help to regulate the immune system—the healer within.\n  \n\nSpace is limited for this transformative retreat afternoon\, so be sure to reserve your spot today!\n  \n\nJoin us as we journey together through the transformative power of SOMA Breathwork and a healing sound bath. Give yourself the gift of relaxation\, rejuvenation\, and connection during this unforgettable retreat experience.\n  \nReserve your place here: URL:https://www.sculpturebythelakes.co.uk/event/soma-breathwork-and-sound-bath-retreat-an-afternoon-of-healing-and-relaxation/ LOCATION:Sculpture by the Lakes\, Pallington Lakes\, Dorchester\, Dorset\, DT2 8QU\, United Kingdom CATEGORIES:Wellbeing ATTACH;FMTTYPE=image/jpeg:https://www.sculpturebythelakes.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/2024/11/Retreat-1-1.jpg END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;TZID=Europe/London:20241107T093000 DTEND;TZID=Europe/London:20241107T160000 DTSTAMP:20260604T232954 CREATED:20240529T140858Z LAST-MODIFIED:20240925T100126Z UID:10000093-1730971800-1730995200@www.sculpturebythelakes.co.uk SUMMARY:Sanctuary Retreat Days DESCRIPTION:Embrace the Season with our September Sanctuary Retreat Days Hosted by Practitioners Ali Palmer and Pip Taverner.\nAs the elements transition from late summer to autumn\, our September Sanctuary Retreat Days reflect this beautiful change.
