Things to know:
Parking is free in the gravel lot. Once you arrive enter the building marked "Cave Entrance."
Be prepared to descend multiple flights of stairs into the cavern for the sound bath.
The cave may be damp and muddy in places, so please plan/dress accordingly
(this includes where the sound bath is held within the cave)
The cave is much cooler inside than outside, so please plan/dress accordingly.
We will have some tarps available to place on the ground, but please bring a mat and head rest (pillow, rolled up towel, etc) to use for the sound bath.

hOm has been invited into the beautiful, historic Olentangy Caverns to host monthly sound baths. Known to have been used by the Wyandotte tribe as a refuge, these caverns have so much felt history and energy from the moment you step inside. Be prepared to descend deep into the cave for a sound bath experience unlike any other in Central Ohio.
These sound bath journey's will be taking place every second Friday from May through October. There is limited capacity, so don't hesitate to grab your spot!
