How does this sound as a way to unwind from the week?
7:30 p.m. - It’s after work. Friday after a tough week. You have time to grab something to eat, and head over to our location at 476 D and H Avenue, Riverside, PA 17868. We put you in the bus or van (maybe we need both) and we drive you up river a mile or so to Canal Park on the Danville side of the river. We put you and your boat in the river there, and you take a nice, leisurely paddle down to our place to unwind.
Sunset is 8:06 p.m. on this day, so if we get on the water by 7:30 p.m….we should be able to watch the sun go down over the mountain. The paddle should take about an hour, so we will be getting out of the water around 8:30 p.m.
A great way to unwind from a busy week and set the stage beautifully and mindfully for the weekend with a 1 hour paddle, a warm bonfire, and a meditative sound bowl experience on the banks of the mighty Susquehanna with Jessica Lynn of Soul Essentials of Danville.
8:30 p.m. - Once we get back on dry ground, we will have some healthy snacks and drinks available to participants. The fire will be going, and there will be chairs for anyone who wants to take it easy and just sit by the fire.
9:00 p.m. - For greater relaxation, Jessica Lynn from Soulsentials in Danville is here to do her thing.
Jess’s “thing” is meditative sound bath experiences where you simply lie back and listen as quartz crystal singing bowls are played.
The sounds helps your body relax, quiet your mind, and reset your nervous system, similar to the feeling of deep rest or meditation, even if you’ve never meditated before. This experience is designed to help you slow down, recharge, and leave feeling more grounded and clear.sound baths, and really helping folks unwind and relax get to a calm state of mind.
If you plan to do the sound bowl experience with Jessica, please bring a yoga mat or blanket of your choice with you when you arrive. Your cars won’t be far from the twinkling light area where the sound bath session will happen.
9:30 p.m. - When you are done, sit by the fire a little longer and talk, or enjoy a beverage, and take part in the peaceful, calm fellowship that can only be experience in this way, on the banks of the Oldest River in the World.
Subjects of bonfire discussion might include:
The Native American encampment of approximately 1500 people that was directly across river from our location.
The eel weir that is is potentially as old as the Egyptian pyramids, and just a couple hundred feet off our back yard.
Or, we could be talking about anything. a nice paddle and sound bowl experience can open the mind to all kinds of subjects, while sitting at a bonfire with friends old and new.
