Registration: Online registration is closed. Please register by phone at 414-446-8794.
Join artist-in-residence Jenna Knapp and sound facilitator Sevan Arabajian-Ries as they continue their collaborative events indoors for the winter. This sound bath will take place in the gallery, where participants will be surrounded by Sonja Thomsen’s exhibition, and then down became up.
Inspired by the winding path of the labyrinth, Jenna will begin the evening with a short guided meditation inviting us to turn inward and listen to the springtime energy that is building within us before Sevan begins the sound bath. We’ll wrap up the evening with an astro talk, writing prompts, and time for group reflection and sharing. Throughout the evening we will explore themes present under the Virgo Full Moon including: organizing our creative practices, embracing life’s big questions, and creating the space necessary to open ourselves up to new beginnings.
Sound baths are an ancient form of healing and deep meditation; they include various ambient sounds and frequencies playing in a space where you can hear and experience their vibrations moving through you. Everyone’s experience will be different, unique as you are, and according to what is needed most at the time. Your sound facilitator for the evening will be Milwaukee’s own Sevan Arabajian-Ries, musician, ritualist, spiritual guide, and relational counselor.
The sound bath will last approximately 30 to 40 minutes. We recommend arriving 15 minutes early to give yourself time to set up and settle in. Please dress comfortably and bring something to lie on, as well as a cover for yourself if you think you might want one during the session. Instead of the labyrinth walk, we will think more metaphorically, going inward with writing prompts and emerging with opportunities for group sharing. You are welcome to arrive earlier if you would like to walk the labyrinth before the indoor sound bath begins. Writing materials will be provided but you are encouraged to bring a personal journal and favorite writing utensil if desired.
