Okihi is a magical 14 acre wildspace on the north side of the Kern river.

Even though its located only 14 minutes from downtown Bakersfield, Okihi can still feel like a world away!  You're sure to find the right spot to enjoy the Kern river with our 2000 ft of riverside property.  Although our land restoration project is just getting started, we are still holding small events and fundraisers and inviting the public to enjoy the land as volunteers and guests.

Sund Bath Under the Stars is a special event hosted by Stephen and Katherine Winters  of the White Wolf Wellness Foundation.  Proceeds from the event will go toward the Okihi restoration project, and support the White Wolf Wellness Foundation.     

**this sound bath will be different, in that a limited number of participants may be able to float in a preterdermined spot on the river during the sound bath.

***Floating is available, but limited, so be sure to arrive early and bring a towel if you want to float!

WHAT IS A SOUND BATH ?

During a sound bath performers quite literally guide the participant on a journey inward using intentional sound waves that permeate the given space.  Participants can move, sit, lay down, stretch, meditate, sleep.... but generally assume a comfortable position lying on the floor soaking up the vibrations.   Like waves through water, the sound waves travel into the many layers of the physical and emotional self - gently massaging and stimulating the body and mind.  Unlike songs, and written music, the sound is abstract and stands alone.  This simplicity allows the participant to enter into a subconscious ‘journey’ riding the waves of sound.  We utilize Tibetan bowls, crystal bowls, gongs, flutes, drums, the didgeridoo, the human voice, harps, as well as electronic and pre-recorded soundscapes to create certain tones, harmonies, rhythms and frequencies intended to tune, and rebalance the mind-body-spirit connection naturally.

WHAT IS LUCID DREAMING ?

Have you ever “awoken” in a dream, and been able to actively participate in your dream-world?  Lucid Dreaming as an intentional practice has been used for countless centuries in many different traditions and communities, and the Dreamtime was considered especially important in understanding the subconscious mysteries of the Self.  Dreaming is obviously a mystical experience, especially lucid / or active dreaming.  Lucid dreaming can be difficult to learn and access regularly, but a Lucid Dreaming sound journey can be a great way to practice!

HOW?

Through gentle preparatory movement, mindful breathing techniques and a background of binaural rhythms  - participants are able to literally ride the sound waves into deep states of subconscious awareness - similar to the Theta brain wave state in which we dream.  In this state of being, the subconscious speaks, creating the opportunity for a unique understanding of the Self via active dream-states.

This program is funded by the Virginia and Alfred Harrell Foundation and FREE to the public.

In this 3 hour class we explore

Gardening- Visit the Okihi Garden!

Composting- How we do it and you can too!

We love creating beautiful sound scapes for you to relax, dream and rest under the stars. Recently we have been securing floating tubes to trees and just relaxing in the river without going to far from shore. We thought it would be fun to combine sound baths with optional floating. Limited number of floating devices. First come, first serve.

Gate open at 5:30. Come early and enjoy the property. Take a walk, pack a picnic, relax!

Pro Tip:

Bring a blanket, two pillows and something comfortable to lay on.
