Sound Bath Meditation: Reconnection
Bathe in the healing sounds of crystal & Tibetan singing bowls, seedpods, shells, bells, rattles and drums as we reconnect to ourselves in mind, body, and spirit. In this safe space we will also hold the energy of reconnecting with others.
With deep breathing, guided meditation, and sound vibrations, participants will be invited to rest, to receive, to reconnect. Let your body relax and your mind empty, facilitating realignment, release, and healing. This gentle sound bath meditation is offered by Reiki practitioner and sound healing guide Eileen Mielenhausen.
Open to those in treatment and recovery, caregivers, and the general public; all ages welcome.
Program is free but pre-registration is required due to limited space. To register or for more info, contact the Beth C. Wright Cancer Resource Center at 664-0339 or info@bethwrightcancercenter.org.

Raise Your Vibration with Drumming
In this upbeat program we will raise positive vibrations and balance & ground your energy using the rhythms and techniques of hand-drumming, led by sound healing guide and drummer Eileen Mielenhausen. Participants will also be invited to improvise in a sound healing “drum jam.” Bring a djembe, ashiko, or other hand drum if you have one; extra drums and percussive instruments will be available to share.
All are welcome—whether you’ve drummed before or have never touched a drum!
Program is free but pre-registration is required due to limited space. To register or for more info, contact the Beth C. Wright Cancer Resource Center at 664-0339 or info@bethwrightcancercenter.org.

Singing Your Way Through
Music can touch the places we have no words for. And songs can help us express just about every emotion, our full range of experiences, our joys and losses. Together we will create a safe circle to use our voices in expressing anything that needs to be expressed—speaking, sounding, and singing our way through whatever we are dealing with right now.
Sound healing guide, singer, and Reiki practitioner Eileen Mielenhausen will gently encourage you to create sounds and sing along to some lovely & lively songs she has learned from singing circles over the years.
Come join us in exploring chants & songs of healing, joy, comfort, community, gratitude, transitions, power and peace from various cultures.
All are welcome—no singing experience needed!
Program is free but pre-registration is required due to limited space. To register or for more info, contact the Beth C. Wright Cancer Resource Center at 664-0339 or info@bethwrightcancercenter.org.
