New Year Restorative Sound Bath

A restorative sound bath for deep rest, gently led and intentionally spacious to softly ease you into the New Year

New Year Restorative Sound Bath

A meditation-led, nervous-system–aware sound bath offering deep rest without overwhelm.

The new year often arrives with a loud invitation to do more, change more, become more.
This sound bath offers something different.

Held in the stillness of winter, this session is an invitation to pause. A gentle threshold into the year ahead, where nothing is required of you. A space to rest, to breathe, and to simply arrive as you are.

After the stimulation and busyness of the festive season, you may be feeling tender, fatigued, or a little untethered. Rather than rushing into resolutions or expectations, this sound bath invites you to slow down and listen inward — to meet yourself with patience and care.

Supported by the calming vibrations of sound, you’ll be guided into deep rest, allowing your nervous system to soften and your body to feel held. In this spacious, grounded state, there will be a gentle invitation — only if it feels right — to hold one simple intention for the year ahead.

Not something to strive for or accomplish, but a quality of being you wish to nourish as you move through the coming months.

What to Expect

• A 1-hour restorative sound bath
• Gentle, spacious sound — nothing forced or overplayed (think soft chimes, singing bowls, gongs, and Tara’s nourishing voice)
• A calm, welcoming, and grounded atmosphere
• Time to rest, settle, and enter the new year softly

Who This Is For

This restorative sound bath is especially supportive if you:

• want to start the new year feeling rested, regulated, and grounded
• are ready to let go of the rush of the festive period
• prefer intention over resolution, and softness over striving
• are looking for a nervous-system–aware way to reset and begin again

No prior experience with meditation or sound baths is needed — just come as you are.

About the Facilitator

Tara is an experienced professional musician, music teacher, vocal coach, and sound therapist, with training from the Sydney Conservatorium of Music and the International Sound Healing Academy.

With over 20 years’ experience performing and teaching music, Tara has spent most of her life using sound as a way to create meaningful connection. Her work has spanned a wide range of settings, including bands, special schools, care homes, and community spaces. For the past three years, she has been offering restorative sound baths in and around Bristol and Wales.

Tara’s approach to sound is gentle, intentional, and nervous-system–aware. Her sound baths are designed to support deep rest and regulation, beginning with a short guided meditation and unfolding into softly played, spacious sound. Rather than intensity or constant stimulation, she prioritises careful listening, attunement, and allowing the body to settle in its own time.

Her work is rooted in the understanding that sound can positively influence our physical, emotional, and energetic states — not by force, but through presence, sensitivity, and trust.
