Three practices. Everything else is a combination.
Frequency, meditation, and intention aren't offered as separate departments — most sessions move through more than one before they're through.
Frequency
Sound is the fastest way we've found to give the mind something to do besides think. Every frequency session is built around that, not around a specific claim for a specific bowl.
- Crystal & Tibetan bowl sound baths
- Gong ceremonies
- Tuning-fork bodywork
Meditation
The pillar you can practice badly and still benefit from. We teach it plainly, without a robe or a chant required, and let guests find their own posture toward it.
- Daily guided sits
- Silent mornings
- Walking meditation on the property's paths
Intention
Sound and stillness open something up; intention is what a guest does with it. This pillar is the most practical of the three, whatever the ceremony around it looks like.
- New & full moon ceremonies
- Intention-setting workshops
- Closing circles at the end of every stay
We stopped keeping them in separate rooms years ago.
Most sessions at FMI don't stay inside a single pillar for long. A sound bath usually ends in ten minutes of silence. A silent morning usually closes with everyone writing something down. In practice, the three were always going to bleed into each other, and the sessions got better once we stopped resisting it.
