Healing sound bath with John Hofton
Join John Hofton for a healing sound bath here at the Monastery, Manchester. For those of you wishing to lie down for the session, please bring a blanket.
Sound healing and relaxation
Sound healing is recognised as an aid to deep relaxation, increased energy flow and is a way to still the mind and feel more connected to your inner core.
John uses a wide selection of highly resonant sound healing instruments in these sessions: e.g. Tibetan singing bowls, Traditional American Indian drone flute, Gemshorn, Dream Chau gong , Sacred Solfeggio Tuning forks and Tubular Bells and
Quartz singing bowls.
This is a gentle, refined and subtle form of healing which works holistically – on mind, body and spirit.
Feel more relaxed, calmer, happier, more energised and in balance.

How much does it cost?
This extended session lasts for 2 hours, starting with a sound healing session, and followed by Dr Ana Borges da Costa’s Circle Dance. The two-hour session costs £15 (+ booking fee) to help towards the huge cost of running and maintaining the Monastery, which is a charity. We do, however, have a small number of fully subsidised places available for those experiencing financial hardship. If you’d like to apply for a subsidised place, please send your request to enquiries@themonastery.co.uk
