Sound Meditation at the GRAM led by Susanne Werblow

Sound Meditation

Wed, November 13, 6:00-7:30 pm

Led by Susanne Werblow. This the third in the fall series of Art and Meditation sessions developed by Dharma Studio teacher Jill Eggers.

Most of us have been moved by music, entranced by rhythm and touched by sound. This session will introduce you to sound as meditation. We will explore different techniques to open our awareness to what’s happening inside using sound, and discern how different tones trigger different sensations, images and emotions.  You will experience a gong “bath”, singing bowls and our own voices joined in chanting, to experience the effects of sound as a meditative practice.  We’ll then turn towards the GRAM art collection, finding paintings that reflect your sound experiences, and listen to the art as we listened to ourselves. We’ll also discuss the science behind why sound, music and singing can enhance your wellbeing and even trigger experiences of awe across cultures. Bring your sense of daring to this session!

Note that this event is at the Grand Rapids Art Museum. Registration is through their site. A link will be provided here when registration opens.
