Sound Bath Meditation with Ebony Black
The event will include a sound bath meditation led by Ebony Black. This immersive outdoor sound bath meditation will guide participants to connect deeply with the powerful presence of water. As healing sounds wash over them, they will feel the rhythm of nature mirroring the flow of rivers, lakes, and oceans. The journey invites participants to connect with the water within and the sounds of flowing water in the park, bridging their connection to the waters that flow throughout Georgia. The natural environment and sound will bring participants into a deeper harmony with this vital element.

ACCESSIBILITY
Perkerson Park has varying terrain, including some slopes and exposed tree roots. We recommend accessing this event as follows:
- From the parking lot designated in the link above, rather than take the ramp across the bridge to the pavilions, follow the worn path behind the restrooms along the other side of the creek. After a short incline at the beginning, the area is flat, with short grass and dirt but without roots.
- At the project site, there is another short incline, this time dirt and with some roots, but they do not cover the entire area.
Our gatherings will be at this site, which seems to be the favorite spot for park-goers to enjoy the creek.
The alternate path from the parking lot, which takes you beside the pavilions, leads to the top of the project and has a beautiful view looking downstream. There is a bridge with steps over the creek from this location to the one referenced above.
