Sound Bath at The Bay with Petra Ratner

Acoustic resonance replaces spoken instruction during this meditative session held outdoors at Common Ground inside The Bay Park. Practitioner Petra Ratner leads the gathering, utilizing crystal singing bowls, chimes, and gongs to generate sustained harmonic frequencies. Participants lie on the grass and allow the overlapping audio vibrations to physically wash over them, a technique designed to slow brainwaves and induce a state of deep relaxation. The entirely passive experience requires no physical exertion, relying instead on the precise manipulation of sound and the open-air coastal environment to facilitate mental deceleration and stress relief.
