This offering is ideal for studios and wellness centers seeking to expand their programming with a deeply transformative, one-of-a-kind experience. Bring your own mat and pillow for a comfy experience.

What It Includes:
10-15 minutes of guided breath and gentle stretching led by Nissa Diantina, designed to ground participants and prepare the body to receive sound.
40–45 minutes of live, meditative soundscapes created by Dave Fiuczynski on his custom double-neck guitar, tuned to healing frequencies.
10-15 minutes of closing integration and reflection.
The journey blends subtle movement with powerful sonic vibrations that support nervous system regulation, emotional release, and inner transformation.

Why It’s Unique:
Unlike traditional sound baths using bowls or gongs, this event features a live musical performance by a world-renowned guitarist who weaves frequencies, microtones, and ambient textures in real time. Combined with mindful movement and breathwork, this format invites participants into a multi-sensory, soul-centered journey.
