Come bathe in pure sounds that will take you on a deeply transformational journey! The Soundshower combines chimes, Tibetan bowls, flutes and vocal harmonics.

During a session you will be invited to lie down and be immersed in vibrations created by these special instruments. Throughout the Soundshower different instruments are carried around the room and sometimes placed physically on the body. Flutes and voice are used to create a magical musical journey and overtones charge the brain and energise the body. Being exposed to these healing frequencies enhances a physical, mental and emotional calibration to the human body and energy field. The Soundshower realigns body/mind, increasing focus clarity and insight. It is a very relaxing and refreshing experience for all.

Avishai Barnatan, is a multi-instrumentalist, producer and sound therapist. Since 1990 he has been exploring the nature of sound and its therapeutic qualities as a tool for physical & emotional transformation and healing.
