Who We Are

Beat Bath is a brand new participatory Sound Bath experience, rooted in the ancient Drum Circle tradition, but re-imagined for the modern age. Sessions combine calming sounds, gentle soothing rhythms, and guided meditation to create a euphoric and powerful collective experience.

Devised by two professional musicians, Louise Anna Duggan and Joley Cragg, participants play carefully curated percussion instruments alongside an original composition, to build dynamic soundscapes together.

Beat Bath sessions aim to reduce stress, release endorphins, and foster connection, leaving you relaxed, mindful, and energised.
