Sound Healing
2025-10-05 14:00 - 16:00 | Unitarian Universalist Church of Greater Lynn, 101 Forest Ave, Swampscott, MA, 01907, United States
From the Unitarian Universalist Church of Greater Lynn: Sound Healing, also known as Vibrational Healing, it is a form of non-invasive alternative healing similar to yoga and acupuncture. Endorsed by such disparate figures as the Buddha, Einstein, and Medical Oncologist Mitchell Gaynor M.D., Sound Healing is a deeply effective way to release stress from the body/mind, thus restoring the immune system.
Join us for this voyage into the bliss, wellness, and healing that can come from profound relaxation via deeply therapeutic sound and tone. The session will be facilitated by sound therapist Joe Hayes. The fee for this event is $25, with a sliding scale. Pay online or with cash or check made out to UUCGL at the door, but do register either way to save your spot for the October session now.
Plan to sit in one of the chairs, or bring a yoga mat and blanket and stretch out on the floor of the sanctuary. Wear loose, comfortable clothing and bring a blanket/pillow if you’d like for your own comfort and warmth. Feel free to invite friends! Recommended for all ages 12 and older.
“This was truly one of the most amazing experiences of my recent life. If you get the chance to attend Joe’s sound healing event, RUN, don’t walk!”
–Ana Forrest, international yoga celebrity and author; founder of Forrest Yoga.
