They find cofounders through friends. Hire from resumes. Meet people at networking events. Six months later, they're building with someone who thinks differently, moves differently, and creates friction where they needed momentum. This event was built to change that.

Then we curate the room around you. ๐—˜๐˜ƒ๐—ฒ๐—ฟ๐˜† ๐˜€๐—ฒ๐—ฎ๐˜ ๐—ถ๐˜€ ๐—ต๐—ฎ๐—ป๐—ฑ-๐—บ๐—ฎ๐˜๐—ฐ๐—ต๐—ฒ๐—ฑ ๐˜๐—ผ ๐˜๐—ต๐—ฒ ๐Ÿญโ€“๐Ÿฎ ๐—ต๐—ถ๐—ด๐—ต๐—ฒ๐˜€๐˜-๐—น๐—ฒ๐˜ƒ๐—ฒ๐—ฟ๐—ฎ๐—ด๐—ฒ ๐—ฝ๐—ฒ๐—ผ๐—ฝ๐—น๐—ฒ ๐—ถ๐—ป ๐˜๐—ต๐—ฒ ๐—ฟ๐—ผ๐—ผ๐—บ ๐—ณ๐—ผ๐—ฟ ๐˜†๐—ผ๐˜‚ โ€” ๐—ฏ๐—ฎ๐˜€๐—ฒ๐—ฑ ๐—ผ๐—ป ๐˜†๐—ผ๐˜‚๐—ฟ ๐—ฏ๐—ผ๐˜๐˜๐—น๐—ฒ๐—ป๐—ฒ๐—ฐ๐—ธ, ๐˜†๐—ผ๐˜‚๐—ฟ ๐˜๐—ฟ๐—ฎ๐—ท๐—ฒ๐—ฐ๐˜๐—ผ๐—ฟ๐˜†, ๐—ฎ๐—ป๐—ฑ ๐˜„๐—ต๐—ฎ๐˜ ๐˜†๐—ผ๐˜‚ ๐—ฏ๐—ฟ๐—ถ๐—ป๐—ด.

Luxury Sound Bath

Mon, Jul 27, 12:00 AM
From Luxury Sound Bath by Master Garrett

$35/Attendee A sound bath is a deeply immersive, meditative experience where you "bathe" in the ambient sound waves and vibrations produced by instruments like crystal singing bowls, gongs, chimes, and tuning forks. You simply lie down, relax, and let the sounds wash over you to help calm your mind and release tension. At Master Garrett Luxury Sound Bath leave the pillows blankets and yoga mats behind.. all luxuries are cared for!
