cloud body - sonic lucid dreaming + deep listening

CLOUD BODY intends to be an experience to awaken our imaginations, and practice listening in a communal setting. This offering is a weave and a wander of acoustic sound-making, vocals, and an electro-audioscape to bend time and support our bodies and minds with a dose of awe. Sonic experience will be about 50 minutes, followed by time to drink tea and connect in a cozy setting.
Lucid Dreaming tea blend provided by Amber (she/they) of Foxglove Botanicals, and there will be a jug for water.
No food or alcohol permitted in the space.
If you like to listen and draw or write, please bring journals or (non-messy) art-making supplies! Please bring a water bottle if you'd like, and wear comfortable clothing to rest/listen in. This studio does not have props or things to get comfy on, so please bring anything you desire to get cozy with: sleeping bags, pillows, props, blankets, eye masks, meditation cushions, etc.
