What is a corporate sound bath?

A group sound bath brought to a company: seventy-five minutes with your people lying down in low light under blankets, live instruments played over composed music, real silence partway through, and a ceremony to open and close it. Nobody has to speak, share or do anything but lie down. Some people call it sound healing or sound meditation, and it's the same session.

Can Firstwater bring a sound bath to our office or offsite venue?

Yes. Firstwater brings the sound system, the mats, the blankets and the waivers to your venue, or the session runs in a partner space in Denver. If you have a space, Firstwater can make it sound like a different one.

How much space does a sound bath need?

Enough floor for your people to lie down, a standard outlet, and about ninety minutes ahead of doors. Everything else, from the mats to the waivers, arrives with the facilitator.

Do people have to do anything during a sound bath?

They lie down, and everything else is optional. Some people follow the guidance closely, some drift and some sleep, and each of those is a fine way to spend the hour. Nobody is asked to share, to speak, or to be anywhere but on the floor, and if the facilitator offers an invitation during the session, people hear about it beforehand and it's optional.

Does a sound bath work for team building or a corporate retreat?

Yes, at the close of an evening or the start of a morning. Firstwater builds one or more sessions into the agenda with you, and a team that has spent the day in meetings gets seventy-five minutes together with nothing to do and nothing to say.

Can Firstwater do a sound bath for a wedding or a bachelorette?

Yes. A private sound bath for the wedding party, the bachelorette, or the couple, at the house you rented, your venue, or a partner space in Denver, as the welcome evening, the morning of, or the day after. The details are on the weddings page of Firstwater's own site.

Sound bath and sound healing

Firstwater

A named act. One facilitator, seventy-five minutes.

A sound bath for your team, offsite or retreat. Your people lie down in low light for seventy-five minutes with nothing to do and nothing to say, with live instruments played over composed music and bass deep enough to feel in your chest, and Firstwater opens and closes the session with ceremony. Firstwater brings it to your venue or holds it in a partner space in Denver, and it books for wellness weeks, team building days, retreats and transition days.

Trusted and booked by

Firstwater is a sound bath led by one facilitator, and if you’ve been to one you already know how to arrive: lie down, get warm, and rest. The facilitator composes the music for each session, plays live instruments over it, and mixes the whole thing from the floor, lying where your people will lie. The facilitator treats the venue like a studio and tunes the sound system to it, so if you have a space, Firstwater can make it sound like a different one.

Your people come in to low light and lie down, and the mats and blankets are already there. The session opens with ceremony, then there are seventy-five minutes of sound strong enough to feel in your chest and soft enough to rest inside, with real silence partway through, and it closes the same way. Nobody is asked to share, to speak, or to be anywhere but on the floor. Some people follow the guidance closely, some drift, and some sleep, and each of those is a fine way to spend the hour. Afterward there’s tea near the door, and people stay awhile or slip out as they please.

Companies book it as a corporate sound bath three ways: a team session at your office or in a partner space in Denver, one or more sessions built into an offsite or a retreat, and a transition day, with a session for the people leaving a company and for the team that stays. As a group sound healing session it suits a wellness week or a team building day, and it’s for hospitals, hospices, libraries, schools and conference organizers as much as for companies and event planners. Couples book it too, as a private sound bath for a wedding weekend or a bachelorette, at the house they rented or a partner space in Denver. Firstwater brings the sound system, the mats, the blankets and the waivers, and what it needs from you is enough floor for your people to lie down, a standard outlet, and about ninety minutes ahead of doors.

Firstwater’s own site is where to read about the public sound baths it holds around Denver and the Front Range, the plain answers to what happens at one, and a journal written in the facilitator’s own words.

This is a named act. What you book is Firstwater, and the one facilitator behind the name is the one who arrives with the sound system and runs the session.

Occasions

Four ways a sound bath gets booked.

These are the four bookings Firstwater’s own site sets out. Two of them have a Signet page for the evening around the session, and the other two have pages of their own on that site.

The team session: One venue and one session, at your office or in a partner space in Denver, for a wellness week, a quarter close, or the month a team earned something quiet. It’s the simplest of the three, and the corporate page covers what else a company books around an evening.
Offsites and retreats: Firstwater builds one or more sessions into the agenda with you, and uses them to close an evening or open a morning, which is where a sound bath does its best work. A team that has spent the day in meetings gets seventy-five minutes with nothing to do. The retreats page covers the evenings a retreat books, and a session is the close of one of them or the morning after.
Transition days: When a company is doing a hard thing well, this is a session for the people leaving and for the team that stays, and it’s usually the employer who books it. The page for it on Firstwater’s own site is called Laid Off, and it’s written for the people who’ll be in it.
Wedding weekends and bachelorettes: A private sound bath for the wedding party, the bachelorette, or the couple, at the house you rented, your venue, or a partner space in Denver. It goes into the weekend as the welcome evening, the morning of, or the day after for whoever stayed, and the weddings page covers the music for the rest of it.

Where a sound bath sits in an offsite week, beside the evenings the music covers, is in company offsite ideas in Colorado for remote teams. During the day, for a yoga studio, a senior center, a hospice, a school or an office at lunchtime, the daytime sound bath page covers where it books and what a venue needs.
