SOUND HEALING

Treat your mind, body and soul to a healing sonic journey in a stunning sound dome, which resonates deeply inside every cell of your body, gently moving you into a deep state of relaxation and helping you to tune into your inner universal guidance in a more intuitive way. Steve Mazabow and Vanessa Forbes began playing music together in 2014 and have spent the last 8 years offering sound healing workshops, touring throughout Australia, NZ, South Africa. As multi-instrumentalists, they take you on a sonic healing journey using the ancient deep tones of didgeridoo, interwoven with angelic vocals, the mystical sounds of the mayan temple flute, handpan, gongs, guitar and medicine drum. The sounds resonate deeply inside your body, gently moving you into a deep state of relaxation and helping you tune into your own natural inner guidance and healing.
