Sound Bath Series: Vibraphone with Winnie Dahlgren

Music has existed in nature long before humans defined it through notes and terms – wind blowing through trees, crickets chirping at night, the crashing of ocean waves, a heartbeat – music is part of the cycle of natural life.

Indigenous practitioners of sound healing recognized the therapeutic value of music, and that sound frequencies can impact our body, mind and spirit.

Today, research studies prove that music can lower blood pressure, decrease pulse rate and assist the parasympathetic nervous system, which is responsible for digestion and other metabolic processes.

Boston Children’s Museum’s Sound Bath Series is intended to be an oasis from the stressors of daily life. It is a drop-in/drop-out, deeply immersive and full body listening experience, where visitors are “bathed” in the soundwaves of a musical instrument.

This summer, Sound Bath Series features Vibraphonist, Winnie Dahlgren.
