What to expect.
Never experienced a sound bath before?
That's absolutely fine.
You do not need to know how to meditate.
You don't need to be spiritual.
And there is nothing you have to "get right." Come as you are, get comfortable and experience it in your own way.
Arrival
Please arrive at the time stated in your booking confirmation so that you can settle comfortably without feeling rushed.
You will be welcomed and given any information specific to your session or venue.
For water sessions, there will be additional preparation and safety instructions.
During the experience
Depending on the session, you may hear instruments such as singing bowls, chimes and other carefully selected sounds.
Some sounds may be soft and delicate while others may feel fuller or more resonant.
Everyone experiences sound differently.
You might feel deeply relaxed. You may notice particular sounds or vibrations. Your mind may wander. You might simply enjoy lying quietly.
There is no correct response.
Sound Baths & Breathwork.
Where Pranayama or conscious breathing forms part of the experience, this will normally take place before moving into the sound bath.
Once the sound experience begins, you can simply settle, listen and allow your breathing to return to its natural rhythm.
Afterwards
We encourage you to take your time getting up.
For water sessions, follow the facilitator's instructions when leaving the pool or floating equipment.
Give yourself a moment to reorient before rushing back into your day.
What to Wear.
Land-Based Sound Baths
Wear comfortable clothing that allows you to relax.
Layers are useful because body temperature can feel different when lying still.
Avoid clothing or jewellery that feels restrictive or uncomfortable.
Floating & Immersed Water Sound Baths
Please wear appropriate swimwear.
Bring comfortable clothing to change into afterwards.
Follow any specific swimwear requirements of the host venue.
Corporate sessions
Normal comfortable workplace clothing is usually suitable for land-based corporate sessions unless your booking information states otherwise.
What to Bring.
Your booking confirmation will tell you if anything specific is required.
Depending on your session, useful items may include:
Land sessions:
• comfortable clothing;
• a bottle of water;
• an extra layer;
• any personal support item you require.
Water sessions:
• swimwear;
• towel;
• change of clothes;
• suitable pool footwear where required;
• water bottle;
• personal toiletries if desired.
Please do not bring valuable belongings unless necessary. Personal belongings remain your responsibility subject to applicable law.
Any mats, floating beds, flotation equipment or other specialist items supplied by Wings of Sound or the venue will be identified in your booking information.
PHOTOGRAPHY & VIDEO PERMISSION
Photography and filming are optional.
Choosing not to give permission will not prevent you or your child from participating in a Wings of Sound experience.
Opt-in/out forms are available on request.
Booking Terms and Conditions
A place is confirmed when the required booking process and payment have been completed unless otherwise agreed in writing.
Participants are responsible for providing accurate booking and contact information.
Health information
Participants are responsible for reading the relevant health and safety information and disclosing information reasonably necessary for safe participation.
Providing health information does not automatically prevent participation. It enables Wings of Sound to consider whether reasonable modifications or further advice are appropriate.
Payments
Prices will be displayed at the time of booking or provided in a written quotation for private, corporate or bespoke experiences.
Payment requirements may differ for public sessions, private bookings and corporate programmes.
Cancellation by the participant
The applicable cancellation and rescheduling terms will be displayed during booking.
Where a booking can be transferred or rescheduled, this will be subject to availability.
Any statutory cancellation or consumer rights that apply to a booking remain unaffected.
Late arrival
Please arrive at the time specified.
Late admission may not always be possible, particularly once a sound bath or water safety briefing has begun.
This protects both the experience of other participants and your own safety.
Cancellation by Wings of Sound
Occasionally a session may need to be cancelled or rescheduled because of circumstances such as practitioner illness, venue problems, pool closure, safety concerns, severe weather or other circumstances outside reasonable control.
Where Wings of Sound cancels a session and cannot offer a suitable alternative, the affected session fee will be refunded in accordance with the applicable booking terms and legal requirements.
Minimum numbers
Some group sessions may require minimum attendance.
Where minimum numbers are not reached, Wings of Sound may offer a transfer, alternative date or refund as appropriate.
Conduct
Wings of Sound aims to provide a calm, respectful and inclusive environment.
Abusive, threatening, unsafe, disruptive or inappropriate behaviour towards staff, participants or venue personnel will not be accepted.
A participant may be asked to leave where their behaviour creates a safety concern or materially disrupts the experience.
Children
A parent/guardian must complete required consent and health information for a participating child.
Children remain subject to the supervision arrangements specified for the particular experience.
Alcohol and recreational drugs
Participants must not attend while impaired by alcohol or recreational drugs.
Wings of Sound may refuse participation where impairment creates a reasonable safety concern.
Personal belongings
Please take reasonable care of your belongings. Wings of Sound cannot accept responsibility beyond any responsibility imposed by applicable law.
Medical disclaimer
Wings of Sound experiences are provided for relaxation and general wellbeing.
They are not medical or psychological treatment and should not be used as a substitute for advice, diagnosis or treatment from an appropriately qualified healthcare professional.
Nothing in these Terms & Conditions excludes or limits liability where doing so would be unlawful.
Privacy and Health Information
