Because space is extremely limited, all ticket sales are final and non-refundable. Advance reservations are required, and tickets will not be available at the door.

๐Ÿ“ฑ PLEASE NOTE WHEN RESERVING:
Please make sure a current phone number is included on your profile when purchasing your ticket. This is how Sacred Shell Healing will contact you directly regarding payment and any important event information or updates.
Your phone number will not be shared publicly or used for marketing purposes. This information will only be available to Sacred Shell Healing and Ellis Planetarium as needed for this event.

๐ŸŒ™ WHAT TO BRING:
A neck pillow is highly recommended and important for your comfort during this experience. Because youโ€™ll be looking upward beneath the planetarium dome, having support for your neck will make a big difference.
You are also welcome to bring a blanket if youโ€™d like to feel extra cozy during the sound bath!
