Soothing Sound Bath with Julia Thompson

Duration: 1.5 Hours

Start time: 15.30pm 

Step into stillness on an early autumn evening, and surrender to the deeply calming experience of this Soothing Sound Bath, lovingly held by experienced sound practitioner Julia Thompson.

Designed to gently quiet the mind and nourish the spirit, this 90-minute session offers a rare opportunity to fully switch off from the outside world and connect with the healing power of sound.

The theme for this gathering is a focus on energy centre activation through working with the chakras, leaving participants feeling refreshed, revitalised, and energetically balanced.

Julia will guide you through a meditative sound journey using a combination of crystal singing bowls, chimes, and grounding instruments, all chosen to support the body’s natural ability to restore and rebalance. These vibrations work at a cellular level, helping to release stored tension, regulate the nervous system, and promote emotional clarity.

Throughout the session, you’ll be invited to simply lie back and relax — letting the sounds wash over you in waves of calm. There will be gentle guidance to settle you into the space, followed by a period of quiet integration at the end, allowing you to return to the present moment feeling lighter, clearer, and more deeply connected to yourself.

Whether you’re new to sound healing or returning to deepen your practice, this immersive session offers a nurturing pause for body, mind, and soul.

You may wish to bring a yoga mat, blanket, and any cushions or eye masks that will help you feel comfortable and supported, however a mat, pillow, and blanket will be provided. We encourage you to bring cosy layers as some may feel cooler lying in stillness for this length of time. You may also wish to bring a journal for any reflections that arise after the session, however this is optional.

Enjoy a welcome beverage and 15% off all Cosy Cottage products on the day.

We look forward to welcoming you to this exclusive spiritual event at Cosy Cottage, ready to start your experience at 15:30 on 5th October 2025.
