Sunset Sound Therapy is a one-hour crystal sound healing session held at sunset on Spilies Beach, a quiet spot just outside Rethymno, for groups of up to eight people. You lie on a mat by the sea while quartz singing bowls and other crystal instruments are played, guided to slow your breathing and let the vibrations do the work. Hotel pick-up is at 18:30 in an air-conditioned minivan with an English-speaking driver, and mats, cushions, blankets, towels, water or juice and light snacks are all provided. The session runs on request rather than to a fixed timetable, and there is no published price.
- Crystal sound healing with quartz singing bowls and other harmonic instruments
- A secluded sunset location at Spilies Beach, just outside Rethymno
- High-quality mats, cushions, blankets and towels laid out for you
- Guided breathing rather than a taught class - no experience needed
- Water or juice and light snacks such as fruit or nuts afterwards
- Optional sunset photography add-on: 10-15 edited images, at extra cost
The session takes place on Spilies Beach, a quiet, private spot just outside Rethymno. There is nothing there but the shore, the vegetation behind it and the sound of the water, which is the point: an hour with no traffic, no schedule and nothing to look at but the sky changing colour. As the sun drops, the warm light and the rhythm of the waves do most of the work of settling people down before the instruments are even touched.
What follows is a crystal sound bath. Quartz singing bowls and other harmonic crystal instruments are played while you lie down, and the vibrations travel through the body rather than simply being heard. You are guided to focus on your breath, let go of tension and follow your own rhythms; the crystals amplify and sustain the tones, which is what gives the session its physical quality. It is closer to guided rest than to a class, and no experience of yoga or meditation is required.
Sound work of this kind is used to calm the nervous system, reduce stress and clear the head, and most people come out of it lighter, steadier and more even-tempered, with the effect lasting well past the hour itself. Practically, you are collected from your hotel or an agreed meeting point, the space is already laid out with good mats, cushions, blankets and towels when you arrive, and afterwards there is water or fresh juice and something light to eat, fruit or nuts, before the drive back.
So läuft der Tag
Pick-up at 18:30
You are collected from your hotel, or from an agreed meeting point, and driven out of Rethymno in a comfortable air-conditioned minivan with an English-speaking driver. The transfer is short; the aim is simply to have you on the beach with time to settle before the light starts to turn.
Arriving at Spilies Beach
The session space is already set up when you get there: high-quality mats, cushions, blankets and towels laid out facing the sea, in a private spot away from anywhere busy. There is time to take your shoes off, find a comfortable position and let the noise of the day fall away before anything begins.
The crystal sound bath
For the hour itself you are immersed in the tones of quartz singing bowls and other crystal instruments. The vibrations flow through body and mind, and you are guided to focus on your breath, release tension and tune into your own rhythms. The combination of sunset, sea and crystal sound is what makes the setting work; you are not asked to do anything except lie there and pay attention.
Refreshments and the drive back
Afterwards there is complimentary bottled water or fresh juice and something light to eat, usually fruit or nuts, to help you feel nourished and grounded before the return transfer. If you have booked the optional photography add-on, this is also when the golden-hour images are taken, and you are dropped back where you were collected.
