A Sound Bath Nervous System Reset in the Forest.
Let the ground take your weight, the bowls take your thoughts, and the trees do the breathing.
Aloka — Park Lab is Aloka's summer nature meditation ceremony — 90 minutes of sound, breath, and somatic practice held on the forested slopes of Mt. Tabor. A practice of grounding and balance. A reset under open sky. The bowls bring the medicine; the park does the rest.
Six Sundays across the summer. New friends warmly welcomed. Regulars even more so.
Park Lab is part of the LAB series — Listen · Allow · Belong.
The Arc
A 90-minute outdoor ritual, shaped by the day and the light.
Open — Gather on the grass. Settle in. Land in the body with a brief somatic tune-in.
Breath — Guided breathwork to drop into the parasympathetic.
Sound — Crystal bowls, Tibetan bowls, and shamanic instruments under the canopy.
Listen — 2-minute listen.
Close — Energy work and Graham's signature send-off. Out into the long summer evening.
The Essentials
Arrive on time. We start with the light.
BYO setup. Bring your own yoga mat, blankets, and pillows. An eye mask if you want the dark.
Dress for the park. Layers. Body temp drops when you stop moving.
Hydrate. Bring water. Snacks welcome.
Weather-honest. Light rain we hold space; heavy weather we reschedule. Updates by email day-of.
Outdoor capacity — held to 24. Advance booking recommended.
A Few Tips
A wool blanket under you, a lighter one over — the ground pulls heat.
Sunscreen on, hat optional — the canopy filters most of it.
Phones on silent and tucked away. The forest is the field.
Linger after if you want. Mt. Tabor in golden hour is its own medicine.
