Question 1

What is Sound Healing?

Accepted Answer

Sound Healing is the use of instruments or music to relax the brain so the body can activate the parasympathetic nervous system (the part of our nervous system that allows the body to rest, digest, and heal itself).  Sound Healing is a powerful therapy that combines different healing sounds, music, and special sound instruments to improve our multidimensional well-being.We primarily utilize gongs, Himalayan singing bowls, crystal singing bowls, harmonium, voice, Koshi & Zaphir chimes, and other accessory instruments.

Question 2

What's the difference between the Sound Nest and Inner Wolf Retreat Space?

Accepted Answer

The  Sound Nest is Dawn's smaller studio near Alexander / 20 min outside of  Asheville and holds 8 people max. Inner Wolf is in a quieter area near Wolf Laurel, 35 minutes from downtown Asheville and  surrounded by nature, a river running thru the property, and several  flowing ponds. It’s a larger space that holds up to  30. Depending on the schedule, usually on Saturdays David and I play the  instruments for the sessions together at the Inner Wolf, blending styles, and with more hands. We also love to  tailor the sessions and ask for intentions and the sound is different  each time depending on those attending

Question 5

What if I need to cancel or reschedule?

Accepted Answer

Most of our events and sessions have a 24 hour prior to the session cancellation policy. Some are not refundable.
