Through meditative stillness, somatic inquiry, nervous system attunement, and deep sonic immersion, we unravel unconscious holding patterns and reconnect with our essential aliveness and collective resonance. Each session offers a unique yet interconnected pathway into presence, weaving a shared tapestry of embodiment. Whether seated, still, moving, or simply listening—there are 1,000 ways to sit.

Specialized Workshop: Heart Alchemy and Sacred Space with Sarah Koh

A journey into the heart chakra—exploring emotional alchemy, sacred boundaries, and energetic healing. Together, we’ll explore the front, center, and back chambers of the heart through breath, meditative presence, and relational inquiry—reconnecting to trust, compassion, and the sacred intelligence of the emotional body.

About Heron Arts, Gamelatron, 1,000 Ways to Sit:

Heron Arts is pleased to present the fourth exhibition of a large scale immersive Gamelatron sonic kinetic sculpture installation by Aaron Taylor Kuffner. This exhibition follows the success of the Resonance in Light (2022, 2023, 2024) that featured a Gamelatron interacting with various light based sculptures curated by John Parts Taylor. This year we are excited to welcome “Gamelatron Sonic Sanctuary: 1000 Ways To Sit” produced by Kamau Zuberi Akabueze.

This exhibition utilizes Heron Arts as a community wellness space offering a public immersion into the layered experience of resonance through stillness, space, and sound. Viewers will be asked to remove their shoes, stow their phones and choose from a variety of unique seats.

At the core of this sanctuary is the musical automaton Gamelatron ViaOro which features 44 uniquely tuned gongs and metal phones, starting in the 30 hz range and spanning across 6 pitch registers on 10 free standing sculptures illuminated by an interactive light-based artwork by Adele Lin and Matt Pinner.

Kuffner intends this exhibition to seed the idea and explore the potential of a global network of sanctuaries anchored by large scale Gamelatron artworks.
