Join us for a special Sound Bath and Havdalah experience led by Rev. Sunshine Daye! Bring your yoga mat and a blanket (and a pillow, if you really want to get cosy) and settle in for a sensory experience like no other whilst we bid adieu to Shabbat and bless the separation of the holy from the not-yet-holy.
