Come unwind and immerse yourself in a sonic sanctuary of gongs, singing bowls, chimes, and healing songs—each vibration designed to re-center and re-tune the body, guiding you gently back to a state of Sukha.

Happening every third Sunday at Om Shala Yoga Studio in Arcata. Hands-on healers offer Reiki, tuning fork therapy, and aromatherapy, enhancing the journey with nurturing touch and subtle frequencies. Each gathering also includes a deeply restful yoga nidra meditation, soul-stirring vocalists, and special guest musicians.

While some props are available, you're welcome to bring your own pillows, mats, and blankets to create your perfect “rest nest.”

Let sound and silence become the vessel for emerging states of deeper awareness.
