GUADALUPE MARAVILLA’S SOUND BATH CEREMONIES @ RAIR

Sound Bath Ceremonies involve sitting or lying down comfortably and immersing oneself in a soundscape created by various instruments such as gongs, singing bowls or chimes. These experiences are believed to offer several potential benefits, including relaxation and stress reduction, emotional release, improved focus, concentration, and overall well-being. It is believed that the frequencies and vibrations correspond to energy centers within one’s body and have the ability to heal.  

Guadalupe will be accompanied by 3 additional healers including:

Tiffany Martinez Tiffany is an intuitive Sound Meditation Facilitator, helping individuals disconnect from habitual patterns and connect with their inner selves. Using her personal experiences, she brings healing soundscapes to diverse audiences, creating safe spaces for transformation and harmony.

Devātman Daniel Givens Daniel is an accomplished interdisciplinary artist whose work deals with the intersectional nature of identity. Exploring spirituality and humanity, he incorporates the myths, folklore, and urban legends that relate to people of color across the African diaspora.

Penpa Tsering Penpa is a master of the music of his native Tibet. He sings, dances, and plays 16 of Tibet's traditional musical instruments. Born in Chamdo, Tibet in 1963, music filled his life from an early age. His mother and grandfather taught him to sing traditional Tibetan songs, including the healing songs of his family, who, for generations, have been nomadic farmers.

After a year long collaboration, RAIR is pleased to host fellowship artist Guadalupe Maravilla and his team of Sound Healers for a series of Sound Bath Ceremonies.

During his time at RAIR Maravilla has taken a deep dive into exploring the making of gongs as a healing instrument. RAIR and Maravilla have found and fabricated dozens of gongs that will be activated in the form of sound bath ceremonies hosed at RAIR over the course of 2 days.
