Sound baths in Ramsgate
A Golden Hour Just for You
A sound bath is an hour of lying still while singing bowls are played around you. No chanting, no stretching, no sitting cross-legged. You lie on a mat under a blanket with your eyes shut, and the sound does the rest.

The room
One hour, in a warm room, with the lights down
Sessions run at The Falstaff Hotel on Addington Street, a few minutes up from the Royal Harbour. It is a boutique hotel with a deli and a bar, and the room is warm, soft and candlelit for the hour.
Spaces are kept deliberately small. That is not a sales line, it is what makes the room feel calm rather than crowded.
- Free parking at the rear, first come first served.
- Doors open at 10:50am, ten minutes before we start
- Ages 16 and over
What it is
Three instruments, played live, for sixty minutes
Everything you hear is played in the room, in real time. Nothing is recorded and nothing comes out of a speaker.
Hand-played Tibetan bowls
Played live, never from a recording.
Tingsha, chimes and gentle percussion
Small sounds that mark the edges of the hour.
The hour, in order
You will not have to do anything
People arrive worried they will get it wrong. There is nothing to get wrong.
- First ten minutes You come in, find a spot on the floor, lay out your mat and get comfortable. Doors close at eleven.
- Settling A short bit of guidance to slow your breathing down. Nothing to repeat, nothing to remember.
- The sound Crystal and Tibetan bowls, tingsha and chimes, played around the room. Most people stop tracking time. Some fall asleep.
- Coming back Quiet, then a slow return. No one is rushed up off the floor.
Before you come
What to bring
Five things. Mats are not provided, so the first one matters.
- A yoga mat
- You lie on the floor for the hour. Mats are not provided.
- A blanket or warm layers
- Your body cools when you stop moving.
- A cushion
- For under your head or your knees.
- A bottle of water
- Most people are thirsty afterwards.
- An eye mask, if you like one
- Optional. The room is candlelit and already dim.
The question people ask quietly
Is this religious?
No. Nothing is asked of you and nothing is preached at you. No chanting, no prayer, no ritual, no belief of any kind attached to it.
Singing bowls are instruments, the same as a cello is an instrument. You lie down, they get played, and the hour is yours to spend however you like. People of every faith and none come along. Plenty come simply because they sleep badly and want an hour where nothing is asked of them.
Beyond the group session
Private sessions and workplaces
If you want a session for your own group rather than a public one, ask. A birthday, a hen weekend, a team that has had a hard quarter, a retreat that needs a quiet hour.
These are arranged one at a time around the room, the group and the date, so there is no fixed price list. Tell me roughly what you have in mind and you will get a straight answer on whether it works and what it would cost.
Before you book
Questions people ask first
What actually happens at a sound bath?
You lie on a mat on the floor, cover up with a blanket and close your eyes. For the next hour I play white crystal singing bowls and hand-played Tibetan bowls around the room, with tingsha and chimes. There is a short guided settling at the start and quiet time to come back at the end. You do not have to do anything.
How much does a sound bath cost?
A place at the Ramsgate session is £25 for the hour. That is the whole cost. You book through Eventbrite and bring your own mat and blanket.
Do I need to be fit, flexible or good at meditating?
No. There is no movement, no stretching and no sitting cross-legged unless you want to. If you can lie on the floor for an hour, you can do this. Falling asleep is fine and very common.
Is a sound bath religious or spiritual?
No. Nothing is asked of you and nothing is preached at you. There is no chanting, no prayer, no ritual and no belief of any kind attached to it. Singing bowls are instruments. You lie down, they get played, and the hour is yours to spend however you like. People of every faith and none come along, and plenty of people come purely because they sleep badly.
What do I need to bring?
A yoga mat, a blanket or warm layers, a cushion for your head or knees, and a bottle of water. An eye mask if you like one. Mats are not provided, so please bring your own.
What should I wear?
Whatever you would be comfortable lying still in for an hour. Soft layers are better than tight waistbands. Your body cools down when you stop moving, so bring more warmth than you think you need.
How long is it, and can I arrive late?
One hour. Doors open ten minutes before the start. There is no entry once the session has begun, because a door opening halfway through pulls everyone out of it.
Is there anyone it is not suitable for?
Sessions are for ages 16 and over. A sound bath is not recommended during the first trimester of pregnancy. If you have sound sensitivity, epilepsy, or a health condition that may be affected by sound, please get in touch before you book so we can talk it through.
Is parking easy?
Yes. There is free parking at the rear of The Falstaff Hotel, first come first served. The Royal Harbour car parks are a short walk away if it is full.
