Restorative Sound Healing Sessions

Journey through a restorative experience that harnesses the harmonious resonance of crystal bowls to induce deep relaxation for your body and serenity for your mind.

We will use healing Crystal bowls to activate every cell in the body. By tapping into the rejuvenating properties of sound, you'll unlock your creative dream state, leaving you feeling profoundly connected to yourself and your surroundings.

Unwind and relax with our soothing Sound Bath - each experience includes sound healing, meditation, and aromatherapy.

Private Group Sound Healing Sessions

Let us help you plan a gathering grounded in mindfulness and connection. Our community loves these for birthdays, corporate team building, and mother’s blessings.

Monthly 75-minute Sound Baths

Join us monthly in San Francisco at ARISE Yoga Studio in Pacific Heights for a 75-minute sound bath.

  • "My favorite part of retreat was truly feeling nurtured by all of the experiences. Ultimately what I love is that The Optimist Collective goes of their way to think about the little details. Being the person in my day to day life  who is always thinking about the details for others and nurturing others, this was my moment to truly give myself space to receive and be nurtured."

    - Shannon, Nourish Your Soul Retreat

  • "There was a huge sense of being held in community, and the rituals we did really facilitated connections between us. We all walked in like strangers three days ago, and now everyone feels like sisters. It's so magical and heart-filling."

    - Olaiya, Awakening the Sensual Body Retreat

  • "For anybody on a journey of learning how to radically fall in love with yourself, with every lump, with every crevice, with every wrinkle in your body, this is a space for you. For anybody that feels like they have been caged with the ways they've been able to express themselves...you get to tap into those dormant parts of yourself and you don't have to do it alone - you will be guided through this experience."

    - Jumakae, Awakening the Sensual Body Retreat

Follow our journey.
