Healing Sound Bath & Yogic Sleep at Prairiewoods
<p>Rebalance mind, body and spirit through the soothing, penetrating power of healing sound and vibration via singing bowls.

This time of relaxation at Prairiewoods (120 East Boyson Road in Hiawatha) will be facilitated by Kathy Broghammer. The cost is $8.
