Cathie Lorenzo facilitates a restorative sound therapy session joined by The Legacy Ranch Healing horses.
Our bodies are filled with energy and frequency. When our frequency drops under a certain level it can cause stress, chronic anxiety, which creates us to become out of balance.
Join us to learn about Sound Therapy with the pair 5 and Om tuning forks to reconnect to rest, relax and repair mode where the mind and body can ground and allow the sound to pass through our energy field to promote emotional harmony. It has been said to work in a similar way to acupuncture. Come and experience the gift of sound therapy.
