Where Rivers Rest

Join Merisa, guest facilitator from our Richmond location, for a restful, restorative soundbath. Merisa plays Crystal Tones® Alchemy Singing Bowls® with incredibly pure and powerful tones, amplifying relaxation and letting the body and mind float deeper into the parasympathetic state of deep rest.

A meditative autumn soundbath of flowing stillness and quiet renewal. As the equinox lingers in the air, Where Rivers Rest invites you to settle into the calm of autumn waters — golden leaves drifting, water slowing after summer’s rush. You’ll be guided to ground in earth’s steady rhythms, flow inward with the gentle current of breath and intention, and enter deep restoration as body and spirit synchronize with the season’s quiet grace.

Sound healing with Crystal Tones® Alchemy Singing Bowls® is a unique and memorable experience. The tones are incredibly pure and powerful. Vibrations move through water in the body five times faster than through the air, helping stimulate circulation, ease muscle relaxation, and improve lymphatic flow. Sound healing has been found to reduce stress, anger, depression, and fatigue.

Merisa is a certified yin yoga instructor, transformative breathwork facilitator, and sound practitioner who specializes in creating deeply relaxing experiences with a focus on slower movement, meditation, and calming practices. She offers yin yoga, breathwork, and sound sessions that let you slow down, release stress, and pour into your softer, more gentle side — believing there is real power to be found in your softness.
