Sound Circle
with Graham Slick
[Cannabis sound Bath Journey]
GUIDE — Graham Slick
DURATION — 120 minutes
LOCATION — Yoga on Yamhill — 124 SW Yamhill St, Portland, OR 97204 (Map)
VIBE — Community, Experimental
STYLE — Circle
A cannabis-friendly sound bath journey blending sound, breathwork, meditation, and heartfelt connection to deepen your bond with yourself and everything.
Gather around the circle and join us for a unique weekly sound bath journey.
Sound Circle is a bit different from Graham’s traditional sound bath sessions. This is an experimental meditative playground where the overall experience is relaxed in nature, but very often leads to profound moments. It includes group sharing, new meditation styles, new soundbath instruments, yoga nidra, incense, reiki, chanting, mantra, qigong, toning, singing, humming, pranayama, and who knows what else. There’s always something new. All of this being explored, practiced, and workshopped for future events.
Together, we’ll experience the healing power of sound, breathwork, meditation, energy work, and heartfelt connection. If you’re ready to relax your mind, immerse in soothing vibrations, and build meaningful connections within a like-minded community, you are warmly welcomed.

The circle opens with a blessing to the space and souls. We tune the body with simple seated stretches and breathwork.

Depending on time and the collective energy we'll dive back into the sound bath, which transitions into energy work with wind chimes, Graham's "zesting", and closing of the circle.
Part 6 — Farewell Song & Integration
Group goodbye song and conclude with sharing experiences in a supportive circle.
Goodbye Song
Goodbye, So long, Farewell my friends
