But when your mind clears, you start to mend. Join Stuart Preston, certified Sound Practitioner, in a sound “healing” session designed specifically for those grieving a loss. Participants must bring a yoga mat, 1-2 blankets and a pillow. Please wear comfortable clothing and plan to arrive 10 minutes early. Ages 16 & up. Registration is required. Space is limited.
