A guided Spring Equinox sound meditation inside Skyspace, blending breath, light, and resonance for nervous system renewal.
About this Event

On the evening of the Spring Equinox, we gather inside Skyspace for a ceremonial edition of First Light.

James Turrell’s Skyspace is a contemplative light installation that gently shifts perception through color, tone, and atmosphere. As the sky transitions, so does the way we see and sense. It is an environment designed for awareness.

Within this luminous architecture, Luna Maye guides a sound meditation using state of the art instruments intentionally selected to support deep nervous system regulation. Through gentle breathwork and spacious guidance, participants are invited into stillness while layered tonal frequencies create a field of resonance that the body can feel as much as hear.

Sound meditation is both ancient and evidence informed. Sustained harmonic tones have been shown to down regulate the sympathetic nervous system, reduce cortisol and stress markers, increase heart rate variability and physiological coherence, and support improved focus, mood, and emotional clarity. Many participants experience brainwave states associated with restoration, creativity, and deep internal reset.

The Spring Equinox marks a moment of balance between light and dark. This gathering honors that threshold with an experience designed to recalibrate the body, quiet the mind, and attune you to the season ahead.

You will be comfortably seated for the duration of the meditation. No prior experience is necessary. The space is climate controlled. Please read FAQs for more details on what to bring/expect for set & setting.
