H2P Sound Bath Concert - SOLD OUT
‍Saturday, April 12, 7:30 PM, Doors open at 7 PM
Ever wonder how stress affects your health? Research from the University of Pittsburgh shows that sound baths can reduce stress by an impressive 70%—but don’t just take their word for it. Come experience it for yourself! At the H2P Sound Bath Concert, you’ll recline on the pews of Heinz Chapel, take in the stunning stained glass, and let the vibrations of crystal singing bowls, violin, and other soothing instruments ease your tension, calm your mind, and restore inner peace. This unique event is led by violinist and CMU professor Monique Mead and her class of Pitt Med students, who are trained in both traditional medicine and sound healing.  It’s the perfect way to reset, recharge, and take a well-deserved break. Ready to feel 70% less stressed? Bring your friends and join us for this transformative experience!
