VR Meditation: Art Basel Edition

“MYSTIC MYCELIA” is a hand-painted 3D world and immersive guided VR meditation experience by Alissa Christine that's designed to help awaken your imagination. The gentle radiance of fireflies will accompany you on this illuminated story-telling voyage, about YOU. Hover among cosmic mushrooms, visionary eyes, and the legend of the rainbow serpent. This inner odyssey inspires heart-opening revelations through the sense of wonder. As you journey within this enchanted expedition, allow the infinite pool of consciousness to reveal its profound secrets, as you reconnect with the boundless magic of existence.

THE FLOW

The evening will begin with some light movement, breathwork, and sound. Participants will then put on a VR headset (provided) and enjoy an immersive guided visual voyage with live soundscapes. The evening will end with a final Sound healing meditation to help ground the experience. Please arrive on time for VR headset fittings. Sessions begin promptly in unison. VR devices will not be distributed after 7:15pm.
