Immerse yourself in soothing sound and healing energy during a Sound Bath in the Himalayan Salt Cave at Purple Sage in Essex, Vermont. Surrounded by the gentle glow of salt walls, you’ll experience the calming vibrations of crystal singing bowls, chimes, and other harmonic instruments—each designed to help the body release tension, quiet the mind, and restore natural balance.

Led by there skilled sound practitioner, this immersive session blends the ancient practice of sound healing with the natural benefits of halotherapy (salt therapy). As sound waves move through the body, they help calm the nervous system and encourage deep relaxation, while the salt-infused air supports respiratory health and detoxification. Together, these therapies create a holistic experience that nurtures both physical and emotional well-being.

Tickets are $60 and Call to reserve tickets
