The Sound Meditation is a transportive sonic journey meditation which starts with a talk about sound, spirituality, and consciousness. It’ll be followed by breathing exercises, toning and vocalization, and guided visualizations to bring the body to a state of attunement to go inward, which will be followed by the sound work with a collection of instruments such as gongs, Himalayan singing bowls, and other various overtone-rich instruments.

The goal is to enable participants to disengage their undesirable habitual patterns and to empower positive cognitive change.

Last session of 2025 will be on

Each month Ruth Lauer Manenti returns to SOUK with a slow moving, challenging, quiet yoga class with a theme and teaching from the Yoga Sutra of Maharishi Patanjali. The text is thousands of years old and starts with the word “atha” meaning now. How does “now” fit into our practices and lifestyle – is it about time or is it a mental state? Open to all levels.
