Buddhist monk leads sound healing & meditation at Geneva Unitarian Church
Members of the community are invited to an afternoon of sound healing and meditation with renowned Buddhist monk Bhante Rahula at the Unitarian Universalist Society of Geneva.
The program will be held at 2 p.m. Saturday, May 17, in the church’s historic sanctuary at 102 S. Second St. in downtown Geneva.
Sound healing offers an opportunity to let go of stress and embrace change through the power of sound vibrations and mindfulness practice. This 90-minute session will help participants find inner peace and acceptance in the midst of life’s challenges and transitions.
As a certified sound therapist, Bhante Rahula orchestrates therapeutic symphonies using crystal singing bowls, tapping into his profound understanding of the harmonious interplay between sound, healing, and meditation. With a deep grasp of the impact of sound on the brain waves, he bridges the ancient teachings of Buddhism and the timeless practice of sound healing to create a seamless and restorative fusion.
“All are welcome to join us to connect with their true selves and cultivate ‘metta’ (loving-kindness) toward themselves and others,” Bhante Rahula said. “The Geneva Unitarian Church’s sanctuary space provides an environment of peace, energy and extraordinary sound quality that promises an amazing and rewarding contemplative experience.”
The cost of the session is $45 per person; space is limited and preregistration is required. Learn more and purchase tickets at uusg.org/sound-healing.
