Soft Life Soundbath with Tara Aura at Arlo Washington DC – Washington, DC

Soft Life Soundbath with Tara Aura

After a warm welcome and a brief Q&A with our local community and Arlo guests, everyone will enjoy an immersive listening experience passively, seated or reclined.

To open the Soft Life Soundbath, ritual artist and sound healer Tara Aura will briefly explain sound science and her intuitive approach to crystal bowls and grounding instruments with African origins. Then she will perform a multi-instrumental, acoustic soundbath to accompany calming breathwork and a guided meditation. Together, we will find harmony, give thanks for the present moment, and set intentions for a softer, brighter future. All genders and teenagers welcome. Light refreshments provided.
