Summer Solstice Sound Bath : Live Under the Oak
Hosted by Vinaigrette Austin
On the longest day of the year, give yourself the gift of stillness.
Just off South Congress, Vinaigrette Austin nestles in the shade of one of the oldest Live Oaks in town — a centuries-old tree that has witnessed more summers than we can count. On the morning of the Summer Solstice, we're turning its canopy into a living sanctuary.
Lie down in the cool shade of its branches as sound healer Callie Milbrandt of Bloom by Callie guides you through a 45-minute ceremonial sound bath — crystal bowls, resonant tones, and the soft breath of an Austin morning working together to reset your nervous system and mark this turning of the sun.
The tree itself will be dressed as a living altar by Posey Floral, whose high-impact seasonal floral installation honors the solstice, the earth, and the extraordinary life rooted at the heart of this space. Arrive to something that stops you in your tracks.
Every guest receives a complimentary seasonal elixir — sip it on arrival as you settle in, or linger with it after as the sounds find their way through you.
What to bring: a yoga mat or blanket to lie on, a pillow if you like, and an open heart. The earth will do the rest.
Doors open at 8:45 AM. Please arrive a few minutes early.
