The Power of Sound is an exclusive *afternoon of sound healing*, suitable for novices and experienced sound healing enthusiasts alike.

Sound healing uses sound vibrations to promote whole body relaxation, and can help participants reach deep states of meditation.

Event Introduction

14:00 Sunday 24th Nov 2024 | Location: Sound Art Museum, Beijing | 声音艺术博物馆(通州)

Nostalgia is a part of all our experiences. It usually hits us in waves when we aren’t prepared. It can be triggered by bumping into an ex-partner, the scent of a hand soap, or a particular sound: the crunch of gravel, a song from your childhood, the scratch of pencils on answer sheets.

The Power of Sound: Nostalgia is a curated programme of sound healing lasting one afternoon that will help you consciously connect to your past, and reflect on the sounds that are present in your life.

The event uses innovative soundscapes and sound healing paired with aromatherapy to enable you to take a step back and contemplate your past, all taking place in the grounds of the Sound Art Museum.

Expect to leave invigorated and more mindful of ambient sounds.
