TED Talks Discussion Group

Sound Bath
Wednesday, June 18, 2:15 p.m.
In this magical and relaxing hour, participants will be led by Crystal Lee to experience the sound waves from crystal bowls. The waves are meant to synchronize brain wave frequencies, fostering deep relaxation and a tranquil mind, which may ease anxiety, manage stress and support a balanced mood. Attendees should bring a yoga mat, pillow and blanket. Individuals may sit in a chair or lie down for this session. Advance registration is requested.

Hiking With Lisa
