Sonic Experiences for Mindful Souls
PERFORMANCES - SOUND BATHS
IMMERSIVE MUSIC & SOUND EXPERIENCES
Welcome to Meridian, where the resonance of music and the vibrations of sound converge to offer transformative experiences for mindful souls. We are Claire and Steph, two passionate musicians on a mission to illuminate the path of inner exploration and connection through the alchemy of sound.
Our journey to Meridian was paved with personal quests for presence and purpose. Like many seekers, we've navigated the labyrinth of life's challenges, yearning for deeper connections and meaning. It was in our shared commitment to musical expression that we discovered not only a channel for creativity but a profound avenue for self-discovery and connection—to ourselves, to the harmonies of music and sound, and to the pulse of the world around us.
Through Meridian, we curate unique sound baths and immersive musical experiences designed to awaken the senses, quiet the mind, and nourish the spirit. Whether you seek solace, inspiration, or simply a moment of respite from the cacophony of modern life, our offerings are crafted to guide you on a transformative voyage of self-discovery and renewal.
Join us as we embark on this sonic expedition, where every note, every resonance, becomes a beacon illuminating the path to inner harmony and wholeness. Welcome to Meridian—where the power of music and sound converges to awaken, inspire, and transform.

WHAT IS A SOUND BATH?
Q: What exactly is a sound bath?
A: A sound bath is a deeply immersive experience where participants are bathed in sound waves produced by various instruments such as singing bowls, rain sticks and chimes. It's like taking a sonic journey where the vibrations of sound wash over you, creating a meditative and relaxing environment.
Q: What can I expect during a sound bath?
A: During a sound bath, you'll be invited to sit or lie down comfortably on a chair, mat or cushion in a quiet, dimly lit space. Instruments, each producing unique tones and frequencies, will begin to sound and as the sound fills the room, you'll feel the vibrations resonate throughout your body, inducing a state of deep relaxation and tranquility.
Q: What are the benefits of a sound bath?
A: Sound baths are known to promote relaxation, reduce stress and anxiety, and enhance overall well-being. The soothing vibrations of sound can help release tension in the body, quiet the mind, and promote a sense of inner calm and balance. Many people also report experiencing improved sleep, increased clarity, and a greater connection to themselves and their emotions.
Q: Do I need any prior experience with meditation to participate?
A: Not at all! Sound baths are accessible to everyone, regardless of previous experience with meditation or any sound practises. The session is fully guided, so you can simply let go and allow the sound to work its magic.
Q: Will I need to bring anything or wear specific clothing?
A: It's recommended to wear comfortable clothing that allows you to lie down and relax easily. Chairs are available, however you may also want to bring a yoga mat, blanket, or cushion for extra comfort as these are not provided. Other than that, just bring yourself and an open heart ready to experience the transformative power of sound.
Q: How long do your sound baths last?
A: Our sound baths all contain around half an hour of sound, with time allocated to ease you in and out of the session before and after the sound begins. This is to faciliate a feeling of calm before the experience and so that you can fully enjoy the benefits that sound emmersion brings before you return back to the external world.
WHAT IS AN IMMERSIVE MUSIC & SOUND EXPERIENCE?
Q: What exactly is an immersive music & sound experience?
A: These captivating experiences intertwine live flute and harp performances with mesmerizing electronic soundscapes and the gentle resonance of sound bath instruments. They have been carefully prepared however the music & sound is unique every time, providing a truly magical experience.
Q: How is it different to a sound bath?
A: These experiences seamlessly combine carefully designed music, guided mediations and periods of sound & silence to create a unique sanctuary for the soul, inviting you to immerse yourself fully in the transformative powers of both music & sound.
Q: I find it difficult to stay still for long periods of time. Can I move around during the experience?
A: Of course! We encourage you to find the best position for you, whether that is laying down or seated. You are welcome to change position, move or even leave the room at any point, all we ask is that you do this quietly so as to. minimise disruption to other participants.
Q: Do I need any prior experience with meditation to participate?
A: Not at all! Our experences are accessible to everyone, regardless of previous experience with meditation or sound practises. The experience is fully guided, so you can simply let go and allow the music & sound to help you relax and rejuvinate.
