Friday, January 16, 7:00 – 8:30 p.m.
Bathe in uplifting waves of sound as large titanium and bronze gongs, the didgeridoo, drums, handpan, shruti-box, vocals, singing bowls, and more illuminate a pathway of willingness, inspiration, and hope. This radiant soundscape invites a gentle shift from doubt or fear to possibility, opening the heart to say “yes” to life’s unfolding opportunities. A brief guided meditation will set a clear intention for Optimism, helping to release heaviness while welcoming fresh energy, positive expectancy, and an empowered attitude toward what lies ahead as we embrace a new year.
Please bring a mat or blanket to lie on (pillow if you need one). Chairs are available for those who prefer not to lie on the floor.
$40 in advance: $45 at the door
Location: 1926 N. Main Street, Wheaton, IL
