Top Kentucky Classes & Workshops

While there are lots of experiences that help you sample Kentucky-made alcoholic beverages, not many let you combine the experience with a crafting workshop. In this candle-making class, learn how to blend, label, wick, and pour your own custom-scented handmade candle, all while enjoying a range of Kentucky wines and beers.

Sound baths are still rare in Kentucky, and The Sound Healing Center of Lexington is one of the only dedicated sound healing studios in the region. This isn't a yoga class with a singing bowl at the end. It's a full, intentional experience built around sound as the sole practice. The studio itself was designed for this work, with acoustics, lighting, and comfort elements chosen to help your body settle quickly and deeply. Hammocks, zero-gravity chairs, and floor setups mean you find the position that works for you, not the one the room dictates. Our rotating roster of facilitators each brings their own instruments and approach, so no two sessions sound exactly alike. You might encounter crystal singing bowls, handpan, gongs, rain drums, or rattles, and the combination shifts depending on who is leading. If you've never experienced a sound bath, this is a welcoming place to start. If you have, you'll notice the difference a purpose-built space makes.
