SOMATIC RELEASE *SOUND BATH* blends therapeutic sound, vibration, and gentle body-based awareness practices to calm the nervous system and release stored physical, mental, and emotional tension. This monthly practice opens with PMR (Progressive Muscle Relaxation) techniques to ease the body before surrendering to the resonance of crystal singing bowls, harp, and hypnotic percussion, and soft guidance into a state of deep relaxation. Somatic sound therapy can help you unblock survival energies — such as fight, flight, or freeze responses — that became trapped during overwhelming or traumatic events. Whether you’re seeking rest, clarity, nervous system support, or simply a moment to reconnect with yourself, this workshop offers a safe and nurturing space. All bodies and all identities are welcome — whether you’re new to sound baths or returning to venture deeper. ABOUT THE INSTRUCTOR: Charlie Sebastian Short is a certified sound practitioner, musician, and caregiver based in Portland. His work draws from the Quantum Sound Method, classical music training, and years of supporting both humans and animals with patience and care. He approaches sound healing as nervous system support, using harmonious instruments to encourage rest, calm, and emotional ease. As a mixed-race, LGBTQIA+, and neurodivergent practitioner, Charlie creates an inclusive space where all bodies and identities can access comfort and relaxation. SLIDING-SCALE: $30-$40
