This summer we embark on our eighth season of Sound Bath & Labyrinth Walks at Lynden. An outgrowth of artist-in-residence Jenna Knapp’s project, Labyrinth Society of Lynden Sculpture Garden, the sound baths developed in collaboration with Sevan Arabajian-Ries. Now that Jenna has moved on to other projects, Sevan will host the 2026 sound baths on their own (with you).

Sound baths are an ancient form of healing and deep meditation; they include various ambient sounds and frequencies played in a space where you can hear and experience their vibrations moving through you. Everyone’s experience will be different; unique as you are, and according to what is needed most at the time.

The outdoor sound bath lasts approximately 45-60 minutes, including guiding you to relax into the experience before hand and out of it afterward. Sevan will offer some words about the current astrological influences and prompts for walking the labyrinth after the sound bath. You are invited to bring your own candle for the labyrinth walk (something in a glass votive to block the wind).

We recommend arriving 15 minutes ahead of time to give yourself time to set up and prepare. Please bring something to rest on and to cover yourself with (if you think you’ll want that) for the duration, and dress comfortably and appropriately for the weather. The labyrinth walk takes place on a hill so please consider comfortable footwear as well. A little insect repellent may be in order, too. If it is too cold or raining, we will move the sound bath indoors.
