Please bring your own set of Crystal Alchemy Bowls if you have them, as deepening your practice with your own instruments is the most powerful way to grow. If you do not own a set yet, a limited number of bowls will be available for practice.
PREPARATION
Bring your bowls, a notebook, and any items you like to have with you for your practice, such as crystals, eye pillows, or altar pieces. This day is about refinement, exploration, and reconnecting with your unique sound essence.
