Find A Little Peace

Explore a peaceful state of mind and body using ancient Tibetan singing bowls in calming, restorative classes offered by McHenry County College’s Continuing Education Department.

In the Tibetan Singing Bowls: Ancient Instrument of Healing and Peace class, participants can enjoy a hands-on experience of the sound and vibration of the bowls and learn why they have become internationally recognized as potent tools for healing. Participants will also be treated to a restorative sound massage. Those who like to lie down (recommended), bring a mat, blanket, pillows and a bottle of water. Or participants may sit in a chair if they prefer. Class takes place from 7-9 p.m. Friday, August 9 in Room C106. Cost is $20.  Use course ID: NHE S02 008 when registering.

For an interactive sound experience, the Tibetan Singing Bowls: Healing Sound Circle class offers participants to sit on chairs in a circle, learn to play the Tibetan Singing Bowls and learn "sounding" (a very simple yet profound vocal practice that does not require singing ability). The sound/vibration of the bowls and one’s voice creates an inner vibration that enhances the body's natural healing ability. Participants will leave feeling refreshed, restored and empowered. Bring a bottle of water to class. Class takes place from 7-9 p.m. in Room C106 on Friday, August 16. Cost is $20. Use course ID: NHE S03 008 when registering.
