Sound Healing in The Square

Breathe. Ground. Heal.

Join us for a peaceful one-hour sound healing session designed to ground, uplift, and restore. In this enriching outdoor experience, you'll explore gentle breath work and meditation practices, along with a short introduction to crystal education to deepen your connection with natural energy tools.

As the sun warms our skin and the breeze carries the sounds around us, you’ll be guided through a calming sound bath led by Angela of The Aura Stream. With her intuitive approach and experience helping others find inner peace, Angela creates a safe space for reflection, healing, and growth—no matter where you are on your personal journey.

Sound frequencies and vibrations work deeply within the body to help release tension, reduce stress, balance the nervous system, and promote emotional clarity. These healing tones gently guide the mind and body into a state of rest, making space for renewal and alignment.

Details:

What to Expect: We’ll move through gentle breath work, meditation, and crystal education before settling into a calming sound bath under the open sky.

Benefits: Let the healing vibrations of sound bowls and other instruments release tension, clear your mind, and bring your energy back into balance.

Extras: Everyone will get to bring home a little bag of crystals as a keepsake of your healing journey.

What to Bring: If you'd like to bring your own mat, you can, though a limited number of blankets will be provided.

Come as you are, breathe deeply, and let the sound waves carry you into balance. We are looking forward to sharing this energetic experience with you

Beats by the Bay featuring The Bribes

Beats by the Bay featuring The Bribes

Join us in the Square for live music featuring The Bribes.

About The Bribes

The Bribes is the project of Chicago-born, San Francisco-based musician Philip Toscano. Toscano has relocated The Bribes to the Bay after releasing three records and headlining nearly every midsized and DIY venue on the northwest side. The Bribes have settled into California as a three-piece, featuring Toscano on vocals and guitar, Jesse Strauss on bass, and Anthony Puducay on drums. A self-taught guitarist and songwriter who grew up listening to the music from The Animals, Vivaldi, and John Lee Hooker in a classic Midwestern basement, Toscano exhibits a unique and sometimes moody garage-blues-rock sound that possesses both the rollicking energy of 1950's rock and roll and the refined melancholy croon of modern pop music.
