IMMERSIVE SOUND ALCHEMY EXPERIENCE (GROUP, 90 MINS)
All sessions are held from 7pm-8.30pm at a private studio in Altrincham, South Manchester. You will receive an email upon booking with the address and preparation details.
FULL EVENT DETAILS:
What to expect:
Melisa Karasu is a certified sound therapist who will be guiding you on a deeply therapeutic sonic journey. All that is required of you is that you lie down & be cocooned in this nourishing & multi-sensory experience, which includes a welcoming herbal tea infusion on arrival, grounding meditation, immersive sound bath with various instruments & tools and an individual oracle card pull, all in a safe & nurturing space.
What is a sound bath?
A sound bath is a submersion in sound, overtones & the use of therapeutic instruments. Relax & unwind as you are guided on a vibrational journey, immersed in the healing frequencies of Himalayan Singing Bowls, Quartz Crystal Bowls, tuning forks, drums, rattles & chimes, that will enable you to slow down & truly receive in mind, body & spirit.
Sound has been used as a healing medium in various cultures since the ancient times, with the common intention to create flow & release resistance. The sounds from these tools & instruments produce powerful tones that resonate & vibrate through every cell of the body, activating the parasympathetic nervous system, which is our bodies’ natural rest & digest state. The frequencies slow down the brainwaves, taking you to a dreamlike & meditative state, to a place of stillness: simply being. Sound baths are an ideal alternative for those who struggle with a traditional meditation structure.
Sound baths can stimulate the body’s natural healing responses. Benefits include: deep relaxation, cell rejuvenation, regulation of the nervous system, energetic shifts & release, balance & alignment, stress & anxiety relief, inner peace, increased energy flow, improved sleep & mood, deeper level of clarity and self-awareness & a boosted immune system.
The sessions are calming yet powerful, with a unique impact on each individual. Often people may experience physical sensations in the body as stagnant energies, blocked emotions & stuck thoughts are released, restoring the body to natural alignment and vibrant flow.
The therapeutic benefits of sound are accessible to anyone. However, there are certain conditions & circumstances that sound therapy is unsuitable for, as outlined below:
A sound bath is not recommended during the first trimester of pregnancy due to the delicate nature of this period
Conditions such as Epilepsy (or history of seizures) and Ménière disease are sound sensitive & therefore may be triggered by sound and vibration
Metal implants, pins & screws may be affected by the vibrations; and electronic devices e.g. pacemaker or hearing aid may also be affected
A sound bath can induce an altered state of consciousness, which requires a level of mental stability in order to ensure safety. Therefore anyone with severe psychiatric symptoms e.g. suicidal, psychosis, bipolar disorder, schizophrenia or paranoia are not recommended to partake in a sound bath
A sound bath may not be suitable for those with severe heart conditions, high or abnormal blood pressure, or a history of aneurisms
A sound bath may not be suitable if you are on heavy medication or have had recent surgery
If you are experiencing any of the above conditions and you would still like a session, please consult your GP or healthcare provider first and contact Melisa at hello@melisakarasu.com, as she may be able to offer you an adapted session.

Testimonials:
"I've completed the sound therapy course and recently had private sessions with Marko Zigon as well. I can whole heartedly say he is a magical maestro. His inherent skill in creating an artistic flow of vibrations was beautiful and subtle. After each session there was a definite shift in my level of acceptance and chakra alignment that was even apparent to others in my everyday life. His method of teaching makes the theory so easy to absorb and with the practice it's a great course for anyone interested in sound and vibrational energy."
Fariba Zoulfaghari - United Arab Emirates
"I have just finished Marko’s Sound Healing & Vibrational Therapy courses levels 1 2 & 3. It was an amazing 3 days of learning, practicing and really understanding at a deep level the incredible therapeutic effects that sound delivers. Marko is so patient and made sure each and everyone of us understood the in-depth knowledge he teaches. He has done so much of his own research and has developed the most unique and incredible sound therapy tools which work on a much deeper level I have ever experienced before. He made the class so interesting and we had so much fun! Anyone who wants to understand more about sound therapy I highly recommend Marko’s classes."
Katherine Gildert – UK
"I highly recommend the three-day sound therapy course conducted by Marco Zigon to anybody interested to become a sound therapist. His passion and knowledge about the topic was clearly evident and immense, and one can only absorb as much as possible in the short time span, where we covered so much content. After the course one walks away with a clear understanding of many possibilities and approaches. Thank you Marko for a very enjoyable course."

This circle will be held from 4-7pm by Melisa Karasu & Melissa Chiara (Root + Weave) at a private studio in Altrincham, South Manchester. You will receive an email upon booking with the address and preparation details.
FULL EVENT DETAILS:
As the winter solstice arrives, we will join together to honour the longest night and darkest day of the year. At the winter solstice we enter into the peak of darkness. The Sun stands still for a moment, before the wheel of the year gently turns back towards the light - bringing new hope, new life and new possibilities.
At this time of year we are offered the powerful opportunity to consider our relationship with trust and the darkness. During moments of hardship and darkness in our own lives, it can be very difficult to trust that there is a light at the end of the tunnel. Yet we must remember that although we are in the depths of winter and darkness at this time, it is actually a mark of the beginning of the return to the light.
We will work with deepening our trust in the natural cycles of life, choosing faith that the light will return. We will gather together to welcome in a surrender into the darkness, remembering that it is in this void of darkness, where new life and new creation is born.
This is a powerful time to create resolutions for the new year, and to simply celebrate being alive. It will be a deeply nourishing and restorative evening filled with reflection & gratitude.

We will journey with different themes in each circle, in Lumine Lunae - ‘by the light’ of the last 4 Full Moons of 2022. A full moon illuminates all that is ready to be seen & transformed: it is a powerful time to manifest & give gratitude.
Our intention is to bring women together in this space to heal, grow, learn, inspire, share & activate. To be seen, heard, loved & held. We will hold this space for one another, without judgment, empowering each other to remember the unique magic, beauty & strength we each innately hold within.
CIRCLE THEMES:
Sunday 11th September: Harnessing the power of September’s Full Moon in Watery Pisces. The theme of this circle will be about clarity: dissolving the illusions created in the mind, working through any limiting beliefs you hold about yourself & your dreams.
Sunday 9th October: Harnessing the power of October’s Full Moon in Fiery Aries. The theme of this circle will be about boundaries & self-love: truly knowing yourself & being your own best friend, breaking through barriers & building assertiveness, strength & resilience.
Sunday 6th November: Harnessing the power of November’s Full Moon in Earthy Taurus. The theme of this circle will be about rebirth & transformation: letting go with grace & cutting cords with all that no longer serves you.
Sunday 11th December: Harnessing the power of December’s Full Moon in Airy Gemini. The theme of this circle will be about celebration & wisdom: activating our power with word spells, reflecting on the past year and visioning for the year ahead.
This is for you if you desire:
To deepen your connection to yourself
To meet likeminded souls
A safe space to be seen, heard & accepted
Powerful tools & practices to integrate into your daily life

AUTUMN EQUINOX: DARK MOON CEREMONY
This ceremony will be held from 7pm-9.30pm at a private studio in Altrincham, South Manchester. You will receive an email upon booking with the address and preparation details.
FULL EVENT DETAILS:
We return back to the equal balance of day & night we last experienced in Spring at the Autumn Equinox. We will gather together on this special evening to honour this turning of the wheel, preparing our mind, body & spirit for the descent into darkness in the coming winter months.
We will work with creating balance within ourselves, welcoming surrender & the letting go of all that no longer serves us, honouring both the light & dark, within & without.
This is a potent time where we can pause, reconnect & recalibrate our energy. It will be a nourishing evening filled with contemplation & gratitude.
