SOUND BATH
(Group sessions)
Experience the immersive rejuvenating frequencies of a Sound Bath bringing you into a state of relaxation.
Through the use of Himalayan Singing Bowls, Gong and Percussion, Dan produces sounds as an enabler to help you feel more relaxed, enriched, connected and in harmony with yourself.
Sound Baths offer significant benefits for mental, emotional, and physical health. These sessions utilise carefully selected instruments, alongside specific frequencies and vibrations, to influence brainwave activity. This allows participants to immerse themselves in rejuvenating sounds, guiding them into a deep state of relaxation. Several benefits of sound baths include aiding in better performance, helping to quiet mental clutter, reduce performance anxiety, improved cognitive performance, enhanced focus, concentration, and productivity. This is achieved by reducing stress levels and promoting relaxation, which research has shown can aid mental focus and clarity.
What to Expect in a Sound Bath
During a sound bath, Dan employs Himalayan Singing Bowls, gongs, and percussion instruments to craft an immersive soundscape that supports relaxation, enrichment, connection, and harmony—both within oneself and amongst the group. The resonant vibrations from these instruments are designed to help ease physical tension and calm the mind. Many participants report an uplift in mood, and experiencing a deeper sense of connection with themselves and others following a session. The soothing sounds encourage a state of inner peace, allowing emotional release and fostering a supportive group atmosphere.
Participants are invited to lie down comfortably—on yoga mats or cushions—and close their eyes to fully absorb the healing sounds. No prior experience is necessary*; simply wear comfortable clothing bring your own mat or cushion and blanket. Following the sound journey, participants will be guided through a structured breathing and movement exercise designed to assist them in returning to a state of being present. Sessions typically last around 60 minutes. Each Sound Bath promises a unique and special experience, making it an excellent addition to any wellbeing programme. It is also a valuable resource for supporting the health of your cast and crew and can strengthen team connection and a more positive workplace culture.
Sound Baths are great to have as part of your wellbeing days for your company, organisation, work place and away days with your team.
Dan also runs a resident Sound Bath in a intimate historic Chapel in Bethnal Green, East London. If you are interested in attending these then please click here and select the dates you would like to attend.
*No previous experience is required. However, if you are less than 12 weeks pregnant, have a condition triggered by sound, suffer from seizures, or have a serious mental health condition, it is advised that you do not attend a Sound Bath.

SOUND BATH TESTIMONIALS
Dan runs monthly sound baths at our arts centre and they are an integral part of our wellbeing programme. I have been able to attend and loved the whole experience – unique, restorative and deeply calming. I highly recommend Dan’s sound baths to everyone!
Beccy Allen | Arts and Wellbeing Director, St Margaret’s House (Bethnal Green)
'My experience with Sekrit’s sound bath was incredible. Through his skillful playing and curating of sounds I was able to achieve a state of deep calm and self reflection.
Through the session I found myself having the ability to experience the calm required to gather thoughts that were moments before just jumbled in my brain and journey through emotions, good and bad, whilst tending to them in a compassionate way.
The environment lends itself to allow us to meditate. I just wasn’t expecting it to be such a deep and impactful experience. Thankful for his work and looking forward to the next one.'
- Ricardo Castro
We asked Dan to facilitate a sound experience for five of us in our small work team, as a pause for reflection and self-care. The sound element of the session was really powerful and really resonated (literally and symbolically) for all, and on different levels which felt super healing, stimulating and relaxing. Dan also made the time for some quiet post-reflection thought and movement, which was just what we wanted and needed. Communication for set up and organisation with Dan was very professional and easy, and we’d definitely have him back for another. '

'Dan used a variety of different sound therapy instruments but the gong was what stood out for me. Dan evoked a powerful visual for me during the sound meditation, I saw a dragon which to me is symbolic of purification. Look forward to the next one! Thank you for a lovely experience! '
- Laura
'I recently was fortunate enough to attend an intimate soundbath at a small Chapel in Bethnal Green with Sekrit. It was lovely to lay back, relax and listen to the sounds. I briefly fell asleep to the gong but left feeling rested and recharged. Thank you Sekrit I look forward to the next one'

SOUND THERAPY -
ONE TO ONE SESSIONS
One to one sessions are curated to fit your needs, what you want to work on to ultimately experience release in your life, enabling you to move forward and improve your health and wellbeing.
A bespoke sound treatment is applied, carefully choosing which instrument(s) to play and techniques used as you lay down comfortably, with eyes closed experiencing the rich sounds and textures of the instruments.
Simple examples - You might be feeling stressed, so a sound treatment would be produced that would help you to feel more relaxed and reduce stress. Or you could be holding limiting beliefs about yourself and what you can achieve. Instruments would be carefully chosen and played in a way that will help build up confidence and belief in yourself more.
Sessions involve reflective techniques for you to gain insight into your own personal process.
Intersessional tasks are given at the end of each session for you to use in between sessions to help maintain, reflect and/or process how you feel after the sound treatment.
