RESTORATIVE SOUND MEDITATION WITH NAVIN SAHJPAUL
Navin will lead a Sound Meditation experience using Live Music (Acoustic Guitar, Voice, Synthesizers) with the intention of creating an ambient soundscape within which one can find stillness, tranquility, and peace. The music is a restorative experience, opening the heart and bringing up emotions and feelings, providing an opportunity for the body to release anxiety, tension, and stress that has been stored and accumulated within one’s nervous system over time.
During the experience, folks are invited to find a comfortable space during the experience for meditation, journaling, gentle movement, and yoga. For his Sound Meditation offering, Navin has a portable set up which includes a battery powered amp, Acoustic Guitar, and a Midi Keyboard which is connected to computer software where he creates ambient soundscapes. All of the music is created live.
What to bring:
Yoga mat
Comfortable clothing
Water bottle
Journal
Eye mask
Blanket
Please note: There will be a limited number of yoga mats, bolsters, blankets, and blocks provided by Qi. You are encouraged to bring your own if possible.
Tickets are $65 plus GST
