Part 3 — 2 Minute Meditation Sprint
We gently enter a 2-minute seated meditation after our relaxing and grounding sound journey.

Part 5 — Energy Work
We ease back into an energy-centered sound bath with subtle Reiki undertones, slowing the experience to a near stillness before gently guiding everyone back with Graham’s signature “zesting” and a closing of the circle.

Group goodbye song and conclude with sharing experiences in a supportive circle.
Goodbye Song
Goodbye, So long, Farewell my friends

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS
Do participants/students play instruments? No, the session is typically more of an active meditative experience. You'll be guided to explore different meditation, breathwork, and some mindful movement. There is a goodbye song at the end where you are welcome to sing along.
Am I required to smoke or eat edibles? No — You can come and enjoy the journey in the way that you prefer. We do not allow hard drugs.
How smoky does it get? It's really not that bad. We try to keep it intimate with 12 people. We have a larger space, and if it does get a little "too much," we can turn on the fans or open the windows. Also, there's a small atrium off of the prop closet where you can take a breather if you're feeling the call.
Do I have to participate? Yes. Be brave. You can do it.
