Where: Private Home near Gerstle Park neighborhood, San Rafael, CA - address provided upon registration

Space is limited and registration is required.

The Experience

Doors open at 6:00pm – please arrive early and get comfortable before we begin.

Doors close at 6:30pm and event begins – please note, no arrivals after this time.

We open by dropping in through breath and a guided meditation.

Then release your Self into the sounds of gongs, singing bowls, flutes, drum, koshi chimes, and a variety of unique sounds and instruments you likely won't hear in a typical sound bath.

We surface together into a short dharma talk, before expanding back out into connection around 8:00pm.

Participants may stay and connect, with departure by 8:30pm.

**The facilitated event is 90 minutes from 6:30-8 and this is a closed container. Please plan accordingly to honor and be in the container for the full duration of the facilitated event.

The Benefits of Sound

Sound has been used as a tool for healing and altered states across cultures for thousands of years — and modern research is catching up:

• Sustained tones from gong, singing bowls, and chimes activate the vagus nerve and shift the body into parasympathetic "rest and restore" mode.
• Research has found that singing bowl sound meditation produces measurable reductions in tension, anxiety, and depressed mood, with related studies pointing to shifts in cortisol, blood pressure, and heart rate variability.
• Brainwave activity moves from the alert beta state into slower alpha and theta waves – the same states associated with deep meditation, where the nervous system does its repair.

The gong carries its own, deeper signature within all of this.

• Its low-frequency, high-amplitude waves are something you feel – the body is roughly 70% water, and sound travels through water far more efficiently than through air, which is part of why a gong's vibration reaches so directly into tissue, organs, and bone.
• The gong's sustained, repetitive strike is also where brainwave entrainment does its clearest work – the brain's electrical activity synchronizes with the rhythm in the room, easing brain waves down into alpha and theta states.
  
  

Your Facilitators

Dalai Grace and Sebastian co-create and facilitate sacred ceremonies with sound, meditation, NLP, and plants. They are going into their ninth year of loving partnership.

Dalai Grace is a spiritual teacher with a doctorate of divinity. Her dharma is specifically receiving and transmitting RECLAMATION: A Path of Self-Realization. She is also an NLP Trainer, Hypnosis Trainer, and NLP Coach Trainer specializing in non-ordinary/altered states of consciousness (aka flow states). Her work and lifetime of experience supports individuals in deepening and integrating along the spiritual path into the Self and Creating.

Dalai Grace brings her experience with RECLAMATION, NLP, hypnosis, and altered states to co-create a multisensory experience in collaboration with sound.

Sebastian is a master of sound, especially the gong. He brings a variety of traditional and unique sounds into the experience, with each sound bath an intuitively guided journey.

Sebastian embodies the divine masculine and his role as a loving partner, alchemist, and dharma dad of three teens. He is an NLP Practitioner + Coach, specializing in working with other dads. Sebastian's dharma is also as an exemplary facilitator of sacred ceremonies.

Beyond their individual paths, Dalai Grace and Sebastian carry a shared dharma: to co-create sacred ceremonies that are powerful and compassionate, allowing space for each participant's own spiritual evolution.

Both have trauma-informed backgrounds. And it is their joy and honor to bring you this experience.
