    Evening-Only Activities

    Sound Bath Under the Sea: Meditation Session

    Back by popular demand, we've added 2 pop up sessions this fall and we'd love for you to join us!

     

    Enjoy the tranquility of our aquatic environment by participating in a sound bath session in front of the shark habitat! For those who are new to sound baths, they are meditative practices that involve immersing oneself in sound, either alone or in a group. The sounds are meant to provide a therapeutic and restorative experience for your body and mind which can help to relieve some tension and stress. 

     

    All sessions start at 6PM; doors will open at 5:45PM. 

     

    These will be the last sessions until Summer 2026! 


    This event is open to ages 13 and up.


    Please dress comfortably and bring your own mat, pillow, blanket or whatever you need to feel comfortable laying on the ground. 

     


    Reservations are required and can be made online.  If trying to purchase ticket at the door, a credit card must be used.  Cash or check will not be accepted.  We cannot guarantee admittance if trying to purchase a ticket at the door, so please reserve your spot in advanced.  Should the event be cancelled due to lack of registration, we will contact you by 4PM the day before the event.  

     


    Instructor: Pauline Sweeney of Anulove Wellness


    Duration: 45 minutes

    Aquatic Art Uncorked

    Mark your calendars for Wed. Nov. 5th for our fall Craft and Sip Pop Up! 

     

    Enjoy a tranquil evening of art with Meghan Sadler, owner of Local Color OBX.  For this session, we will be working with resin art.  For those who are new to resin art, it is a creative practice using synthetic resins, primarily epoxy resin, to produce artistic creations and since we love our sea turtles, we will be making the image below! Everything will be provided, but you're welcome to bring some small shells to add to your piece.  

     

    What you need to know: Class starts at 6:30pm; doors will open at 6pm.  This is a 21 and up event. You are welcome to bring a snack and beverage of your choice that is beer, wine, and champagne only.

     

    Reservations are required and can be made online.  If trying to purchase ticket at the door, a credit card must be used.  Cash or check will not be accepted.  We cannot guarantee admittance if trying to purchase a ticket at the door, so please reserve your spot in advanced.  Should the event be cancelled due to lack of registration, we will contact you by 4PM the day before the event.
