Spring Equinox Sound Spa

About

This event is organised by and was submitted by The Portico of Ards

Celebrate the Spring Equinox with a deeply immersive Sound Spa Experience at Portico, where sound, space, and seasonal balance merge.

The Spring Equinox marks a moment of balance between light and dark, a natural pause point to reset, restore, and gently welcome the energy of the new season. This specially curated Sound Spa experience is designed to support relaxation, reflection, and renewal through the power of sound.

The session will take place across two levels of Portico, offering a unique and inclusive way to experience the sound within this resonant space. There will be pew bathing on the ground floor, additional floor space at the front of the venue for lying down, and a small number of lying-down spaces in the upper gallery, alongside seated options. This allows participants to choose the position that feels most comfortable and supportive. You will be guided through a deeply restorative sound journey combining acoustic instruments with an electronic soundscape backdrop. The electronic elements add subtle depth and texture, creating an enveloping atmosphere that supports the nervous system and encourages a shift into slower, more relaxed brainwave states.

Sound frequencies and vibrations are known to help reduce stress, promote deep rest, and restore balance to both mind and body. Experienced within Portico's architecture, the sound is naturally amplified and shaped by the space itself, enhancing the immersive quality of the session. This Spring Equinox gathering offers a rare opportunity to slow down, tune in, and reconnect - both with yourself and with the rhythm of the season.
