Includes: Meditation + the recording afterwards for 72 hours

Reset and replenish your entire system with positive vibes, inspiration, joy, and optimism during this virtual sound bath, amplified by the rich sounds of three large gongs, didgeridoo, Himalayan singing bowls, flute, rattles, and other sound tools. Tune in to higher frequencies and enjoy personal transformation conveniently brought to you as a live stream in high definition video, in stereo. Permeate your mind and body with a multi-dimensional tapestry of sounds designed to relax and invigorate your body mind simultaneously.

Our focus for this session is “Alive”.

Celebrate Life

Being alive and able to express all that each living being does is a true gift and also a miracle. And being aware of the marvelous order that keeps all going from second to second is a clear benefit in maneuvering through life’s complex landscapes. One of the definitions for evolution is the process of change in a certain direction, another states it is the process in which the whole universe is a progression of interrelated phenomena…

Join us in our guided sound bath meditation as we reflect and share insights and ideas on how to increase awareness about being truly alive.

Experience a guided meditation coupled with strong sound healing elements at its finest. Find more on the FAQ page about the positive characteristics of vibration and sound.

Marian generates a broad spectrum of fascinating rhythms and functional harmonics by exploring the full range of frequencies within his instruments ranging from shimmering explosive highs to deep mysterious lows.

By being a long time hand drummer, he expanded his creative repertoire by expressing images also through the sound of gongs. Marian is a member of the Sound Healers Association and refines his advanced interpretation and application of gong sound healing under the guidance of senior instructor, lecturer and teacher Mitch Nur, PhD of
