Fall Sound Garden: Day & Night Sound Baths with Art Installations at Bituin Studio – San Francisco, CA

Experience the Fall Sound Garden, a seasonal, living meditation by Erica Nguyễn combining immersive sound baths and interactive art installations. Each gathering is a multisensory garden of sound, seasonal flowers, fruits, and reflection.

As leaves fall and the light softens, we are reminded that release is part of the cycle. The Fall Sound Garden is an invitation to let go of what no longer serves, to reflect on what has passed, and to renew your inner soil for what’s ahead.

Hosted at Bituin Studio in San Francisco, the space is transformed by Erica’s floral installation, Haptic Garden by Chris Giang, and the in-house gallery featuring Jy Jimmie Flora Gabiola.

Two Sound Bath Sessions:

Attend one session or both for a full, transformative experience.

Part 1: Yin Session (Daytime)
Sunday, November 9 | 11:00 AM – 12:30 PM | Bituin Studio

The Yin Session begins with an immersive tea ritual to awaken the senses and prepare the body to soften into a state of presence. Surrounded by the immersive Haptic Garden installation, you’ll be invited to touch, listen, and shape the evolving soundscape before journeying inward with a restorative sound bath themed around surrender, like autumn leaves falling or the shedding of skin. Ending with the sound bath, you may feel everything and nothing at once ~ resting in stillness, softness, and deep surrender, honoring the Yin qualities of receptivity, intuition, and letting go.

Part 2: Yang Session (Evening)
Sunday, November 9 | 6:30 – 8:00 PM | Bituin Studio

The Yang Session shifts into movement, activation, and connection with spirit. The evening begins with an ancestral cacao drinking ritual, interwoven with a flute solo to open the portal of remembrance by Vladimir Cardema. From there, Erica guides a meditation and a powerful sound bath with gongs, bowls, harp, and chimes—amplifying the Yang qualities of vitality, resonance, and transformation. Come with an open heart, ready to engage with sound as a bridge to release and renewal.
