Spa Montage Kapalua Bay is offering a “Sacred Sound Bath & Meditation” event at 7 p.m. Thursday.

Led by Christina Felty and Paul Balmer of Shanti Sound Healing, attendees will experience restorative sounds created by sacred metal Tibetan singing bowls — created by Nepalese artisans and infused with blessings by Himalayan monks, crystal quartz pyramid and singing bowls, an ocean Theta drum and wind gong. The sounds created are intended to sweep you away on a transcendent sound journey.

Participants are asked to dress comfortably and will lay on a yoga mat (pillow use is optional). Cost is $30 per person.

Advance reservations are required. Visit www.spa-montage-july2018.eventbrite.com to reserve your space.
