Held overlooking the inspirational <em>Shoyoan Tien Zen Garden<\/em>, the evening invited participants into a space of stillness, mindfulness, and deep rest through the gentle sounds and vibrations of singing bowls and other healing instruments.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Participants shared wonderful feedback following the event. One person reported that she &#8220;fell into a deep rest,&#8221; while another remarked that his &#8220;stress and anxiety just melted away.&#8221; Many expressed appreciation for the peaceful atmosphere and the opportunity to pause, unwind, and reconnect with themselves.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Thank you to Kris and everyone who joined us for this special evening. We look forward to offering another Zen Sound Bath Experience in the autumn of 2026.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-gallery has-nested-images columns-default is-cropped wp-block-gallery-2 is-layout-flex wp-block-gallery-is-layout-flex\">\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"768\" data-id=\"15751\" src=\"https:\/\/bffct.org\/bff\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/Zen-Sound-Bath-spring-26-1-1024x768.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-15751\" srcset=\"https:\/\/bffct.org\/bff\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/Zen-Sound-Bath-spring-26-1-1024x768.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/bffct.org\/bff\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/Zen-Sound-Bath-spring-26-1-300x225.jpg 300w, https:\/\/bffct.org\/bff\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/Zen-Sound-Bath-spring-26-1-768x576.jpg 768w, https:\/\/bffct.org\/bff\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/Zen-Sound-Bath-spring-26-1-1536x1152.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/bffct.org\/bff\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/Zen-Sound-Bath-spring-26-1.jpg 1920w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"648\" height=\"864\" data-id=\"15750\" src=\"https:\/\/bffct.org\/bff\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/Zen-garden-at-BFF-Middletown-26.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-15750\" srcset=\"https:\/\/bffct.org\/bff\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/Zen-garden-at-BFF-Middletown-26.jpg 648w, https:\/\/bffct.org\/bff\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/Zen-garden-at-BFF-Middletown-26-225x300.jpg 225w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 648px) 100vw, 648px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"768\" data-id=\"15752\" src=\"https:\/\/bffct.org\/bff\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/Kris-Emory-Sound-Bath-at-BFF-1024x768.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-15752\" srcset=\"https:\/\/bffct.org\/bff\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/Kris-Emory-Sound-Bath-at-BFF-1024x768.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/bffct.org\/bff\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/Kris-Emory-Sound-Bath-at-BFF-300x225.jpg 300w, https:\/\/bffct.org\/bff\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/Kris-Emory-Sound-Bath-at-BFF-768x576.jpg 768w, https:\/\/bffct.org\/bff\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/Kris-Emory-Sound-Bath-at-BFF-1536x1152.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/bffct.org\/bff\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/Kris-Emory-Sound-Bath-at-BFF.jpg 1920w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/figure>\n<\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>On Saturday evening, June 7, 2026, BFF members, friends, and the public gathered at the center for a deeply relaxing Zen Sound Bath Experience led by Kris Emory.
