Details

Honor the stillness of Samhain. Join us in Portland for a restorative sound bath, a sacred space to let go and welcome the season
About this Event

As the air turns crisp and the days grow shorter, the ancient energy of Samhain rises. This Halloween, join us at the Multnomah Arts Center for a deeply restorative and spiritually significant sound bath. Far from a spooky spectacle, this event is an invitation to honor the true meaning of the season: a time of release, reflection, and honoring our connection to the past.

We'll guide you through a soundscape of resonant gongs, crystal singing bowls, and the grounding pulse of a buffalo drum. The vibrations will gently guide you into a meditative state, helping you shed the anxieties of the past year and prepare your spirit for the introspective journey of winter.

What to bring: Your comfort is paramount. Please bring: a mat or cushion (or both) to lay or sit on the floor. A blanket, pillow, and/or eye mask are also highly recommended.

Date: Saturday September 20th Time: 7:00 to 8:00 PM

We aim to create a tranquil environment for everyone. Please plan to arrive with time to get yourself comfortably settled , as we'll begin promptly at 7:00 PM. Your timely arrival helps us maintain a shared sense of calm

Location: 7688 SW Capitol Hwy, Portland, OR 97219 in the Dance Studio

Parking: Lot D is recommended, map of facility provided.

We welcome participants 12 years and older who are able to maintain a respectful and calm environment. If you have any specific needs or concerns, please contact us in advance; this is a space for shared relaxation and mindfulness.

The facility is ADA-accessible. All are welcome in this space.

The Spiritual Roots of Halloween: The Connection to Your Sound Bath

The modern Halloween we know today has its origins in the ancient Celtic festival of Samhain (pronounced "Sow-in"). This celebration marked the end of the harvest season and the beginning of winter, a time often associated with death and the spirit world.

The core beliefs of Samhain can be beautifully integrated into a sound bath experience:

  1. The Thinning of the Veil: The Celts believed that on this night, the barrier between the living and the spirit world was at its most porous. The ethereal tones and sustained vibrations of gongs and bowls in a sound bath can be used to symbolize this thinning veil, helping participants feel a deeper connection to their intuition and the spiritual realm.
  2. Honoring Our Ancestors: Samhain was a time to honor and remember those who had passed. The deep, grounding sound of a buffalo drum or a large gong can evoke a sense of the earth's rhythm, helping participants feel connected to the lineage of their ancestors and find strength in their roots.
  3. Release and Transformation: Just as the trees release their leaves to prepare for winter, Samhain is a time for releasing what no longer serves us. A sound bath provides the perfect container for this. The powerful vibrations can help clear energetic blockages, inviting a sense of release and renewal that prepares you for the new season.

This event offers a sacred space to experience the transformative power of Halloween, leaving you feeling grounded, renewed, and spiritually connected.
