A 75-minute journey into sound, stillness and deep relaxation

When was the last time you completely switched off?

For 75 minutes, leave the outside world behind, lie down, close your eyes and allow yourself to simply listen, breathe and be.

Join meditation teacher and musician Andy Hobson for a unique immersive sound experience combining live instruments, meditation, storytelling and a rich nature-inspired soundscape.

Andy is one of the most listened-to meditation teachers on Insight Timer, with more than 9 million plays of his meditation practices worldwide and over 140,000 followers.

Now, he's bringing that experience into a live room.

A sound bath with a difference

This isn't simply a collection of singing bowls.

Andy creates a continuous, immersive journey using:

Quartz crystal singing bowls

Tibetan singing bowls

Wind chimes

Native American flute

Guitar

Spoken-word meditation

Nature-inspired soundscapes

Digital immersive sound effects

These sounds are woven together with quietly spoken guidance and a simple story inspired by the four seasons.

You don't need to know how to meditate.

You don't need any previous experience of sound baths.

You don't need to do anything.

Simply lie down, get comfortable and let the experience unfold.

What to expect

Andy will begin with a gentle guided relaxation, helping you settle your body, quieten the outside world and let go of some of the tension you've carried through the day.

You'll then be guided into approximately an hour of immersive sound.

As the sounds, music and spoken word unfold, you'll be invited to follow a gentle journey through the changing seasons — moving between stillness, movement, warmth, openness and reflection.

There is nothing you need to achieve.

No right or wrong way to experience it.

You can simply listen.

You may drift in and out of awareness, become absorbed in the sounds, reflect quietly, or even fall asleep.

The session finishes with a few moments of stillness and some gentle words to help you transition back into your evening.

Why come?

This is an opportunity to:

Step away from the demands of everyday life

Give your mind and body some time to slow down

Experience deep relaxation and stillness

Immerse yourself in beautiful live and electronic sound

Explore meditation without needing previous experience

Take some uninterrupted time for yourself

Leave feeling calmer, more grounded and refreshed

Think of it as 75 minutes where you don't have to achieve anything.

Just lie down.

Listen.

Breathe.

And let the sound do the rest.
