Full Moon Sound Meditation at Lyman Orchards
2025-09-08 18:00 - 19:15 | Lyman Orchards Golf Club, 70 Lyman Road, Middlefield, CT, 06455, United States
Enjoy a Full Moon Sound Meditation in "The Meadow" at Lyman Orchards Golf Club with The Conduit once a month from May - September in 2025. Relax to the soothing sounds of live gongs and singing bowls washing over you for deep meditative bliss. Lean into the heightened lunar energy of each Full Moon to align with your highest self.
During the Conduit's sound-meditation, you will quickly access the benefits of a deep meditative practice, without needing any experience or special techniques. Experience a live sound journey, finding stillness through the orchestration, allowing a deep connection to the space within your heart, mind and body. As the vibrations gently hold you, release mental and emotional blockages, and invite and strengthen a connection with your inner self.
Please bring props for your comfort. A zero gravity chair is perfect - or a beach towel with a yoga mat and a pillow and blanket would work as well. Eye coverings and water are also encouraged.
Approximately 60-75 minutes in length.
Registration is required. $25 per person per event.
