Looking for a midweek reset that doesn’t involve a screen or a smoothie? Join Angela on the rooftop at Unscripted Durham for a dreamy sunset sound bath on Wednesday, July 30 from 7:30–8:30pm. You can float in the pool or sprawl out on a chaise as the sound bowls, chimes, and gongs gently coax your nervous system into vacation mode. It’s woo-woo in the best way.
Grab your ticket before they fill up—spots are limited!
This isn’t sponsored (we’d let you know if it was). We just think tuning out while literally floating is kind of genius. (Just so you know: Sponsored content in our newsletter is always marked with “*”).
