Summer Sound Bath Experience

You are invited on an auditory enterprise, a musical meditation, a vibration adventure to experience the magnificent soundscape of crystal bowls for a Healing Sound Experience on the Frick’s lush, tranquil grounds. Led by Sound Healer Brooke Smokelin, this evening delightfully combines the elements of sonic science, spiritual practice, and artistic expression.

This unique 75-minute program will be followed by a Q&A with the artist. Participants can bring a mat, blanket, or a lawn chair to use during this experience. Come ready to be relaxed and renewed! Guests are invited to arrive early or linger afterward to stroll the grounds, reflect in solitude, or quietly connect with others.

Advance registration and pre-payment is required. Upon arrival, attendees will check-in and receive a wristband at the main gate. Seating is on a first-come, first-served basis.

In case of inclement weather, the event will be held on Thursday, July 24 at 7 p.m.

What is a Sound Bath Experience?

It is said that the crystal bowls generate both an ambient and visceral vibration experience. Brooke's compositions intentionally produce an “acoustic alchemy” of Pythagorean tunings and musical mathematics that generate unique sound forms and colorful, textured soundscapes. The sonic experience encourages an increased auditory awareness and “deep listening” and induces a relaxed and meditative state.

About the Artist

Brooke Smokelin is a pioneer and visionary in the field of sound healing and has been playing the crystal bowls for 30 years! She has toured all over the country offering concerts, sound baths and musical medicine experiences for the healing of people and bodies of water everywhere.
