• Water

• A bike in good working condition and a helmet

We’ll take a longer break of about 30 to 45 minutes partway through to relax and eat, plus a few shorter stops along the way.

We’ll keep things simple and safe:

• Ride at a comfortable group pace

• Use basic hand signals for stopping and turning

• Keep an eye out for each other

No strict rules, just shared awareness and consideration for the group.

Whether you’re a regular rider or just getting back on your bike, you’re welcome to join.

💚 Come ride with us!

No sign-up required. If you can, let us know on Facebook if you’re coming, but feel free to decide last minute.

What is a sound bath?
A sound bath is a meditative experience where you are “bathed” in sound waves. The sound waves are produced by various healing instruments but the waves don't necessarily have a catchy melody or rhythm like you may have experienced at a concert or listening to the radio. Instead, they are a carefully selected wash of instruments with notable resonance and overtones aiming to help ease listeners into relaxation and help balance their energy. Let your mind drift away to the beautiful sounds of crystal singing bowls, chimes, tuning forks, bells, shakers, drum, gong, and more. Sound baths can be a great way to relieve stress and tension. They create the perfect environment for deep healing of the body, mind, & spirit! The session will start with a guided meditation to help ease you into the experience.

What to bring?
Yoga mat, pillow, blanket, and anything else you need to be cozy and comfortable when lying down. If you are less mobile, you are welcome to bring a folding chair or stool to sit on.

Facilitated by Clare Cluff:
Founder of Ottawa Community Energy Healing (OCEH), Usui & Shamanic Reiki Practitioner, Sacred Sound Healing Practitioner, & Certified Professional Life Coach

Clare grew up in the Arlington Woods neighbourhood on Parkland Cres. Shortly after moving out of her parents home in her early 20s, she returned to this area she loved so much to buy her first home.

Clare has been on a wellness & spiritual path for many years. Looking to share her passion and gifts with others, she launched Ottawa Community Energy Healing in Spring 2024. Everyone’s income is different and Clare recognizes the need for energy healing services to be more affordable & accessible. By offering services through her clinic using a sliding scale payment system as well as collaborating with other local businesses and organizations, Clare aims to open the door wider so that more people can not only begin but also continue on their healing journey.
