"Utterly blissed Out" The Financial Times

Location:

The Refectory, Vanderbilt University, Chelsea Square, New York, NY 10011
(part of Vanderbilt University)

Best entrance: 440 West 21st Street, New York, NY 10011

What to expect:

In this sound healing and lying down classical concert experience, you are welcomed to embark on the hero’s journey, a classical piano, violin and immersive electronic soundscape will guide you through this powerful journey, guided by pianist and founder Christina McMaster with special guest violinist Philippa Mo.

You won't just hear the music, you'll feel it. You'll be guided into a deep relaxation, feeling the vibrations of Tibetan bowls which will merge into the live classical music, woven with a deep immersive electronic sound scape that will move through an experience of 'seeking', 'utopia', 'tenderness', 'chaos', 'deep rest', 'stillness' and ultimately triumphing in a state of 'euphoria', a feeling of utter joy that few of us allow ourselves to experience. These movement titles represent the range of emotion you might experience.

This, however, is your journey and whatever you're going through, you'll likely leave having processed it and feeling more present, energised and uplifted. We can't wait to welcome you to this very special Lie Down and Listen.
