Healing sound bath with John Hofton
Please note: Please note, the May 5th circle dance session with Ana has been cancelled and there will be sound bath only on that date. John Hofton will be away on May 5th, and the sound bath will be covered by Christian Platts, who brings indigenous instruments from around the world, sharing eclectic tones and frequencies to support your healing journey.
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
