What is a sound bath?
A sound bath is a meditative experience where you are "bathed" in sound waves produced by various instruments including singing bowls, gongs, chimes, and more. During a sound bath, people either lie down on the floor or will be held in a silky material cocoon above the floor. You will be immersed in sounds from various instruments allowing your brain waves to slow down and shift from a more active state to a relaxed or dreamlike state. The goal of such experience is to invite deep relaxation so that you may let go of stress, anxiety and other worries.
Simple Plan takes the stage with special guests 3OH!3, Bowling For Soup, and LØLØ for an unforgettable evening of high-energy anthems.

Most riders start at Iowa West Foundation Trailhead Park where parking is available.
