A harp sound bath for winter solstice

On the darkest day of the year, we’d like to offer you something very special — and a little different than our regular content. This dreamy sound bath was filmed in Portland, Oregon on an exceptionally rainy December evening. Let the combination of the mesmerizing harp and raindrop patter transport you into a present state of mind, suspended from everyday worries. If you’ll have them, the sounds in this bath will envelop you with a sonic hug — one that research shows can have a positive and science-based effect on our mental health and broader well-being.
Dasha Shleyeva (she/they) is a somatic educator and a therapeutic musician. She is a neurodivergent and queer Russian immigrant who is currently in a program studying harp-based therapies for clinical settings. Dasha has been playing music for over 20 years, and harp is the most recent instrument added to their repertoire. Utilizing the therapeutic harp approach, they offer amplified harp sound baths, ethereal loops, gentle field recordings, sound wave dynamics, and relaxing vocals. They love to provide embodiment education within physical-therapy-based yoga classes, woven with a grounding sound bath experience. Dasha’s deepest joy in life is reciprocally sharing embodiment, autonomy, and celebration for and between all beings.
You can listen to more of Dasha’s music on Bandcamp.
