Sound Bath Sunday w/ Dancers Unlimited

Greetings, Sound Bath Sundays family,

For the seasons first Sound Bath Sunday we are collaborating with our house mates Dancers Unlimited to work through grief in reflection of Sarah Hanssen’s exhibition.

Ishkara (Vocal Sound Mystic, 4th‑gen musician, Certified Sound Healer) will be joined by a guitarist and drummer for a ceremonial musical journey. Expect sacred silence, invocation, a cappella chanting, and the gradual build of instruments. Move, relax, and be transported.

Begin with Chicava’s grounding QiGong practice, awakening your body’s energy with mindful, fluid motions. Then, surrender to a transcendent sound bath led by Ishkara Heqwabti, Founder of The Innerish and member of The Healing Tree NYC. Become immersed in the resonant waves of crystal singing bowls, indigenous drums, harmonic instruments and her voice, releasing what no longer serves you. We will be joined by Ndigo, Founder of The Healing Drum Collective and member of The Healing Tree NYC. She will use Reiki energy and aromatherapy to bring calm and peace to your mind and spirit.

⏰ 12:00pm: Grief across cultures with Death Doula Emma Ackerman of New Zealand & Grief Doula JL Umipig of Hawai’i.

⏰ 1:00pm: Sound Bath healing with Ishkara Heqwabti
