Sound journey 'Embers of Silence'

Let yourself be carried away on a subtle stream of sound, warm and soft like glowing embers. This sound journey ‘Embers of Silence’ invites you to become still, to breathe, and to feel the healing vibrations resonating deep within your body. Each tone awakens warmth and softness, allowing tension to melt away and inner peace to emerge. The church will be filled with sounds that carry you like soft sparks bringing light and warmth. The church becomes a space to recharge, to listen to what is happening within, and to reconnect with your core. During ‘Embers of Silence’ you will hear a wide variety of instruments including singing bowls, gongs, various flutes, string instruments, handpan, drum,… A sound healing concert that invites you to… stillness.
