Cello Meditation – Lunar New YearCome and experience a truly magical cello meditation on Lunar New Year at De Meditatietuin by internationally renowned performing artist The Wong Janice.
WHAT WILL YOU DO
This event focuses on closing 2024 and setting new year’s intentions for 2025 with journaling to live cello music. The Wong Janice will take you through journaling prompts with a worksheet, and you will have 60 minutes to write your answers in the worksheet to the beautiful sounds of her original ambient cello music, and you will be able to reflect on the year that has just gone by and set your intentions for the year ahead. Each composition is designed to help you focus and think with clarity. By the end of the event, you will have completed a valuable reflection to end the year and you will feel more grounded, calm and confident with a positive outlook for the year ahead.
WHAT WILL YOU EXPERIENCE
We will meet at the Red bridge and walk together through the Amstelpark to the entrance of De Meditatietuin. In winter the park closes at sunset and that’s why we meet there and go together. We will walk mindfully and slowly while being guided in the dark and listen to the sounds of the animals around us, and notice whether the moon is in sight. We will enter De Meditatietuin and have 15 minutes to settle in, have a cup of tea to warm our bodies and find a place on a mattress with a pillow and blanket where we will lie down (or sit, if you prefer) for the duration of the 60 min. concert.
At the end, we will share a word, line, thought, feeling or ask a question and then have a social moment with tea with the rest of the participants. We will all leave De Meditatietuin together and walk back to the Red bridge, ending this beautiful Lunar New Year event.
ABOUT THE MUSIC
The pieces performed will be from The Wong Janice’s latest album: Cello for the Moon Phases, which is composed entirely on the cello, and processed through effects pedals and a loop machine which helps to build the layers and chords. This creates a more ambient soundscape which helps you to drift off and go deeper within yourself, rather than the typical classical cello sound.
