*Sound Bath with Marcus Joseph – Infinite Sound Medicine*

Marcus Joseph is a jazz musician, composer, spoken word artist and sound practitioner, bringing together music, mindfulness and therapeutic sound through his practice, Infinite Sound Medicine.

Our route takes us alongside mature woodlands, rare flora and a variety of wildlife. We'll then take a 45 minute pause, for an immersive sound bath before enjoying a gentle mindful lunch.

As part of the walk, Marcus will guide guests through a deeply relaxing sound bath experience using crystal singing bowls and other therapeutic instruments. The session is designed to offer a moment to slow down, reconnect with the body, and simply listen after spending time immersed in nature.

No previous experience is needed, guests can simply get comfortable, close their eyes and allow the sound and vibration to wash over them.
