Full Moon Sound Bath in Cascade Cave

Cascade Cave at Carter Caves State Resort Park
Saturday, September 26, 2026 | 6:30–8:00 PM

Join us for an evening sound bath inside the Dance Hall of Cascade Cave, one of Kentucky’s most distinctive natural environments. Held after regular tour hours, this experience invites you to slow down and listen in a setting shaped by limestone, time, and stillness.

This sound bath will be facilitated by Amy Hudson, founder of The Sound Healing Center of Lexington and a Reiki Master. Amy creates grounded, intentional sound experiences that emphasize listening over performance and allow the environment itself to become part of the experience.

Crystal singing bowls and resonant instruments will be played while you rest on your mat or chair, surrounded by the cave’s stone walls. The acoustics of Cascade Cave allow sound to travel, echo, and settle in ways that cannot be replicated above ground.

This is not a performance. It is a shared experience of listening, held by sound and by place.

What to Expect & What to Bring

This experience takes place in an active cave environment. Please read the information below so you can arrive prepared and comfortable.

Seating & Comfort
Participants may lie down or sit upright. Bring your own mat or reclining chair, along with blankets, cushions, or pillows. Because the cave floor is stone, you may want something thicker than a standard yoga mat for added insulation and comfort. Many guests may choose to bring a cushion and blanket to sit on.

Temperature
The cave remains cool year-round, typically around 55–60°F when the door is closed. Dress warmly and plan to bring layers and a blanket to stay comfortable throughout the hour-long session.

Ground Conditions
The cave floor is small crushed limestone (gravel) and may be damp in areas, with occasional puddling. We recommend bringing a small tarp or ground cover to place beneath your mat or chair to protect from moisture.

Access & Walking Distance
The walk from the parking area to the cave is approximately 100–150 feet along a gravel path. Items with wheels should work on the path. There is one small step at the entrance to the cave.

Duration
The sound bath lasts approximately one hour. You will remain mostly in one position, so please bring whatever supports you need to be comfortable.

Additional Notes

• This event is open to the general public and appropriate for all ages.

• Space is limited, and advance reservations are required.

• Please arrive early to allow time for parking, unloading, and settling in.

Sound Healing 101: A Starting Point

Saturday, October 3 • 2:00–5:00pm • $123

If you've ever left a sound bath wondering how someone learns to do this, this class is for you.

Sound Healing 101 is a hands-on introduction for anyone curious about the foundations of sound healing and curious about what it might look like to lead a sound bath of their own someday. We'll spend the first half of our time together on the basics: what sound actually does in the body, how chakras relate to sound, and what it means to set sacred space before anyone walks through the door. From there, we'll move into practice. You'll learn Amy’s formula for leading a full sound bath from open to close, and you'll get real time playing crystal singing bowls, including a turn in a group circle where everyone gets to lead.

This is not a certification and it's not everything you'll ever need to know. Think of it as exactly what the name says, a starting point. Some of you may leave and simply carry a deeper appreciation for what you experience the next time you attend a sound bath. Others may leave with the first steps toward leading one yourself. Both are welcome here.

What we'll cover:

• The basics of sound as energy and vibration, and why it affects the body the way it does

• How chakras relate to sound and what they can tell you about a client's needs

• Setting sacred space and clearing your instruments

• Hands-on practice playing crystal singing bowls

• A step-by-step formula for leading a full sound bath, start to finish

• Common mistakes newer practitioners make and how to avoid them

• A simple approach to getting your own offerings off the ground, including pricing and how to build an audience

What to know before you come:

No instruments needed. I'll provide crystal singing bowls for everyone to practice with throughout our time together. Bring a water bottle, a journal, and a pen. We'll be seated on the floor and have blankets, mats, and blocks on hand if you'd like something more comfortable.

This class is capped at 9 students so everyone gets real hands-on time and my direct attention throughout the day.

If you feel called to explore what it means to hold this work for others, I'd love to have you in the room.

Long before Friday the 13th was called unlucky, it was a day held sacred to the Goddess. It carried the moon, intuition, and the rites of women who trusted their own truth. On this Friday the 13th, we come together to reclaim that meaning and to create.

Join Amy Hudson of The Sound Healing Center of Lexington and Lynna Nguyen of Creatures of Whim for Goddess Day, a circle rooted in the ancient tradition of women gathering to share wisdom and celebrate the feminine. This evening will include a sound bath, along with ceremony and community, as we honor the Goddess in all her forms.

Throughout the evening, we will move through the many faces of the Divine Feminine. The fierce clearer who carries sacred rage and confronts what no longer serves us. The compassionate mother who holds our grief with tenderness. The one who teaches us to soften and receive. The keeper of ancient intuition and feminine wisdom. The guardian of the threshold who meets us in our shadow and our voice. The one alive in sensuality, pleasure, and creative fire. The wild and autonomous one, reclaiming what was suppressed. The devoted one, embodied in sacred love. And the one rising into her own sovereignty and spiritual mastery.

Each of these faces holds something we have been taught to separate: a Light Feminine, the parts of us the world has always found acceptable to show, and a Dark Feminine, the parts labeled dangerous, difficult, or too much, and taught to stay hidden to keep us safe. On this night, we honor both. We give voice and space to the shadow as fully as we celebrate the light, because becoming whole asks for all of her.

This circle is for women. If you feel called to create something new this Friday the 13th, to honor every part of the feminine you carry, we would love to hold this space with you.

Creative Sound: A Gratitude Jar + Sound Healing Workshop

Saturday, November 14, 2026 | 6:00–8:00 PM

As the year winds down toward the darker months, there's something grounding about pausing to name what we're grateful for and giving that gratitude a physical form. This workshop, led by Meredith Pritchett, pairs two practices that complement each other beautifully: hands-on creativity and deep, receptive sound.

We'll start the evening together making gratitude jars, small vessels to hold what you're carrying gratitude for right now. There's no right way to do it. Some people write single words on slips of paper, others tuck in photos or small objects that hold meaning. All you need is a little time and openness; every material is provided. It's a slower kind of making, the kind that lets your mind wander toward what you actually value this season.

From there, we'll set our jars aside and settle in for an hour of immersive sound healing. Singing bowls, drums, chimes, and more will carry the room somewhere slower. You don't need to do anything during this part except let yourself receive it. Lie back, breathe, and be.

This gathering is intentionally small, capped at 8 people, so there's space to create, connect, and settle into the experience without rushing. Snacks and drinks are provided throughout the evening.

If you feel called to close out the season this way, we'd love to have you.

The evening includes:

• 1 hour of creative gratitude jar making

• 1 hour of sound healing

• All creative supplies provided

• Snacks & drinks provided

• An intimate group experience, limited to 8 people

What to bring:
If you'd like, feel free to bring a photo or small object that holds meaning for you, something you'd want to include in your jar. This is optional; plenty of supplies will be on hand either way.

A New Moon Sound Bath with Oracle Card Making

The December New Moon rises in Sagittarius, calling us to release the past and expand into what's ahead. Where the Full Moon illuminates what needs to be let go, the New Moon offers something different: a dark sky and a fresh field to plant in.

This ceremony is built around Jupiter, the planet of growth, abundance, and expansion, and Sagittarius' pull toward the horizon. It's a night for naming what you're ready to grow into, not just what you're leaving behind.

We'll open with a short reflection on where you've grown this year, then move into oracle card making. You'll create your own card, a symbol, word, or image representing the intention you're planting for the year ahead. From there, the crystal singing bowls will carry that intention into the space, letting the sound itself become part of the growth.

Something in you already knows what's ready to be planted. If you feel called, join us for this New Moon Sound Bath Ceremony.

All materials for oracle card making are included. No experience with sound baths, oracle cards, or astrology is necessary; just an openness to what the night brings.

The Sound Healing Center of Lexington will be closed on December 24.

The Sound Healing Center of Lexington will be closed on December 25.
