We\u2019re four months into the new year, and some of us are already feeling burnt out. But lucky for us, help is on the way! This Earth Day, Miami is trading traffic sounds for healing sounds with an experience designed to help you unwind.<\/p>\n
That\u2019s not your alarm clock \u2014 it\u2019s your sign to relax.<\/p>\n
This Earth Day, the South Beach Sound Healing Orchestra is mixing Zen vibes and nature.<\/p>\n
Jared Bistrong: \u201cOn April 22, which is Earth Day, we are having an Earth Day Sound Bash at the Miami Beach Botanical Garden.\u201d<\/p>\n
This isn\u2019t your typical bash because this music is not meant to turn you up, but it\u2019s meant to wind you down.<\/p>\n
Jared Bistrong: \u201cSound healing is very similar to music. The difference is that in a sound healing experience, participants are lying down and their eyes are closed, so it\u2019s about an internal journey with sound. It\u2019s almost like pushing a reset button on the body.\u201d<\/p>\n
The healing will be led by more than 20 members of the orchestra using gongs, drums, and chimes to help you be more at one with yourself.<\/p>\n
Jared Bistrong: \u201cMost of the disease and the issues that we\u2019re having today as a culture have to do with stress, and that\u2019s where we\u2019re holding tension in the body. And so with sound healing, what we are doing with that tension is just releasing it.\u201d<\/p>\n
The event is not just for your ears. Your eyes can join in on the fun, too.<\/p>\n
Jared Bistrong: \u201cWe\u2019re going to have a special artist, dNASAb, who\u2019s going to be doing some video mapping and projections of the entire garden. So it\u2019s truly going to be an immersive sound and light experience.\u201d<\/p>\n
Already have plans for Earth Day? No worries, on May 9, the orchestra will be moving the experience to Trinity Episcopal Cathedral, Miami\u2019s oldest church.<\/p>\n
Jared Bistrong: \u201cOne of the specialties of the Sound Beach Sound [Healing] Orchestra is that we adapt all of our experiences to the specific environment that we are in. We\u2019re tapping into using the actual residence of the actual architecture in the cathedral, and we are also taking video projections, we\u2019re gonna be projecting, mapping the entire cathedral.\u201d<\/p>\n
