New Moon Shamanic Journey & Sound Session

Join us for a gorgeous weaving of shamanic journey and restorative sound healing on Saturday 25th January 2.00pm to 3.30pm in honour of the New Moon in Aquarius. 

This 90 minute session will allow you time to drop into a deep immersive state, safely cocooned in the healing frequencies of sound. 


Sessions are bespoke and intuitively led by Kerry using a number of different sound healing instruments as well as mantra. 


Her sound baths are aimed at supporting your wellbeing and are instrumental at helping you regulate your nervous system while reducing stress and inducing relaxation. 


It requires very little from you, the receiver, other than to settle into a comfortable position and allow the vibrations to soothe and heal you. 


Mats, soft furs and blankets to help you be comfortable are provided. Please bring along a bottle of water and wear comfortable clothing. Come as you are. No previous knowledge or experience necessary. Only a desire to rebalance & reconnect with yourself. 

Sound Healing is a low risk therapy but not advisable in the first 3 months of pregnancy and for some limited/unmanaged health conditions such as epilepsy. Please just check with the studio when booking if you’re unsure or wish to discuss.
Spaces are limited so booking is essential.

Kerry of This Liberating Life is an intuitive coach and energy practitioner experienced in both sound healing and somatic shamanic energy medicine. More information about Kerry’s offerings can be found @thisliberatinglife on Instragram and www.thisliberatinglife.co.uk.
