Members of the MassArt community are invited to experience an ambient mode soundscape with large resonant gongs, and other harmonic instruments in order to relax, shift, and de-stress. Participants will engage in a meditative, deep listening practice, potentially initiating the Relaxation Response.

There will be two sessions hosted on each scheduled date.

What you need to know/bring:

• Bring a yoga mat, blanket/pillow, eye covering, whatever you need to feel comfortable while lying down on the floor listening to the sounds. 
• There are chairs for those who prefer to sit.
• Arrive a few minutes early to settle in.
