Weekend Escape: Sound Baths in Joshua Tree and a Sunrise Easter Service on the Tram
If you're not heading to Coachella or lounging at a local park this weekend, Todd Macofsky has a couple of refreshing ideas that might just lift your spirit—literally and figuratively.
🌙 Sound Bath in Joshua Tree – Saturday at 11 a.m. & 7 p.m.
Feeling overwhelmed? Step into serenity with a transformative sound bath in the peaceful desert landscape of Joshua Tree. Held in a dreamy boho geodome in Landers, this immersive healing session surrounds you with singing bowls, gongs, drums, and sacred medicine songs that are designed to guide you into deep relaxation and spiritual renewal. It's the perfect reset for your mind and body.
🌄 Easter Sunrise Service – Sunday at 5 a.m.
Start your Easter morning on a truly elevated note—literally. Hop on the Palm Springs Aerial Tramway and rise above the valley for an unforgettable sunrise service at the mountain’s peak. The first tram departs at 4:15 a.m., with the service beginning at 5:00 a.m., featuring music filled with faith, hope, and joy. Don’t forget to bundle up—it’s chilly up there before the sun rises!
Whether you're looking to relax, reflect, or just experience something new, there’s a little magic waiting for you in the desert this weekend.
