CAMILLA PADGITT-COLES
Ivy Meadows Sound & Light HealingNovember 22 - December 21, 2025
Essex Flowers is pleased to present Ivy Meadows Sound & Light Healing by Camilla Padgitt-Coles.
This project is part practitioner room, part art installation, all experiment. The front room features natural and colored lighting, a therapy table, and sound healing instruments including crystal singing bowls, Himalayan singing bowls, crystal harp, gong, chimes, and tuning forks. The back room offers a minimal video installation designed to relax and suspend time.
Individual one-hour sound healing sessions are available by appointment on a sliding scale: $75, $100, or $130. Tea is offered afterward. The space also hosts dedicated pay-what-you-wish days and free viewing hours to see the setup and video installation in its silent state. The run will culminate with a winter solstice celebration including a free community sound bath by Camilla Padgitt-Coles and evening performance by Camilla Padgitt-Coles and collaborator Bryce Hackford.

Trained through Sound Medicine Academy with Guy Yair Beider, they operate as Ivy Meadows Sound Healing and also create audio-visual art and work with light and music. Website: ivymeadows.net

FAQs
What is sound healing? Sound healing uses vibrations and frequencies to support relaxation and meditation. It is typically practiced with instruments such as singing bowls, gongs, and tuning forks. The therapeutic sounds help signal the nervous system to shift into a 'rest and digest' state, which can reduce stress, ease tension, and create a sense of calm and balance.
What happens during a session? You'll lie comfortably on a heated therapy table while experiencing sounds from various instruments. Sessions last 45 minutes and include time for tea and to settle afterward. The experience is deeply relaxing - some people meditate, others fall asleep, and some simply rest. Feel free to explore the space, including the video installation in the back room, before you leave.
Will sounds be played directly on my body? No, but I may play some instruments a few feet over your body if the session calls for it. If you would prefer I not do that, just let me know.
What should I wear or bring? Wear comfortable clothing. Everything you need is provided, including neck rest/pillow, blankets and bolsters, and an optional eye mask.
Do I need experience with meditation or sound baths? No experience necessary! Sessions are welcoming to complete beginners and experienced practitioners alike.
Are there any contraindications? Sound healing is generally very safe. If you have a pacemaker, metal implants, or are in your first trimester of pregnancy, please mention this when booking so accommodations can be made.
Can I visit the video installation without booking a session? Yes! During viewing hours (12-2 pm on scheduled days), the gallery is open to see the setup in its silent state and experience the video installation in the back room. On the winter solstice (December 21st), the space will be open 2–5 pm for a free community sound bath - visitors are welcome to come and go as they please.
How much do sessions cost? Individual 45-minute sessions are available at $75, $100 or $130 sliding scale. Booking for sessions is available here.
What if cost is a barrier? There are two dedicated pay-what-you-wish days: November 23 & December 5. Sessions on these days are offered in 15, 30, or 45-minute formats. There are also limited pay-what-you-wish spots available on regular session days. Book for pay-what-you-wish days here or email ivymeadows.soundhealing@gmail.com to discuss options on other days.
Do you have a cancellation policy? Yes. Please allow at least 24 hours' notice for rescheduling or cancellations for a full refund.
How are proceeds used? 10% of all proceeds support the volunteer-run Chinatown Community Fridge & Pantry. The remainder supports the artist and covers operational costs.
