The desert exhales at night and the stars seem close enough to touch. Participants gather on blankets and mats beneath a broad, ink-dark sky where the Joshua trees lean in like curious listeners. The session opens with a guided intention-setting meditation, then moves into a low-frequency planetary sound journey using a 36-inch gong tuned to Pluto’s range — a slow, grounding vibration that ripples across the sand and through the chest.
