Singing Bowl Sound Meditation

The singing bowl sound meditation is a calm half-day in Kathmandu. Lie back and relax as a practitioner plays singing bowls around you in a guided sound meditation, then join a short workshop on how the bowls are played and made.

Your guide can then help you choose a good-quality bowl in the workshops of Patan or Boudhanath. Session, workshop, guide and transfers included.
