On a clear January night in Lake Ann, Michigan, the Wolf Moon rises over frozen shoreline and pine ridges. The Wolf Moon Sound Bath takes place at Almira Town Hall, 19639 Maple St, Lake Ann, MI. Led by yoga teachers Deb Lanning and Josh Hartman, this 1.5-hour event blends crystal singing bowls and a soulful handpan to ease the body into quiet resilience. Guests arrive for a 5:30 PM “nesting” period to settle on provided mats, blankets, and eye pillows; the guided sound immersion runs from 6 to 7 PM. The experience is simple in setup and deep in effect: tones sweep across the hall, low metallic overtones and bell-like harmonics coaxing the nervous system toward rest. What makes this offering particular to Lake Ann is its winter context. The first full moon of the year—often called the Wolf Moon—casts a pale light over nearby Lake Ann and the county’s scrub pines, lending a stark, clean atmosphere that amplifies the sense of renewal. Inside the town hall you trade wind and cold for warm textiles and sonic architecture built from crystal bowls and percussive handpan waves. The instruments’ resonances pair especially well with northern Michigan’s winter quiet; you can leave with a clearer headspace and a reset intention for the year. This sound bath is accessible and low-impact. There’s no prior experience required; the hosts provide mats, blankets, and eye pillows, though you may bring a pillow or bolster for extra support. The session’s “nesting” window gives newcomers time to ask questions and staff to help arrange props for knees, lower back, or hips. Because the event happens in a community hall, expect an intimate, grounded group rather than a large commercial production—this is local wellness with a neighborly vibe. Plan to arrive early, wear warm layers you can relax in, and let the sound guide a meditative body scan. Afterward, linger on Main Street or take a short drive to Lake Ann’s shoreline for a moonlit breath of cold air—both the town and surrounding Benzie County provide quiet places to reflect. Whether you’re a sound-healing curious tourist or a local marking the new year, the Wolf Moon Sound Bath at Almira Town Hall offers a deliberate, musical way to begin January with clarity and calm. The session runs from 6 to 7 PM, with doors and the nesting period beginning at 5:30 PM; participants must be 18 or older. Because the hall holds a limited number of mats, early reservation is encouraged to guarantee a spot. Plan on roughly 90 minutes on site including arrival and settling; many people linger afterward for a short, hushed conversation or a warm beverage at a nearby café, before heading back home again.
Mats, blankets, and eye pillows are provided; you may bring your own mat, pillow, or bolster for extra support.
People typically wear yoga clothes or sweats—whatever keeps you comfortable and warm while lying down.
