Sound Immersion with Onyi Love
Sound as Medicine. Vibration as Portal. Enter a sacred space where sound opens pathways to healing, remembrance, and deep inner alignment. Experience the transformative power of voice, vibration, and elemental frequencies to nourish your whole being. Held within a high-resonance container, Sound Immersion is a sonic sanctuary where Onyi's voice, honed through over 20 years as a trained musician, vocalist, and performing artist, weaves with elemental tones, sacred instruments, and intuitive frequencies to create immersive soundscapes that move through the body and beyond. This is not background music or ambient tone. It is a living, practiced, spirit-led sonic art, offered by a healer who is also a musician in the fullest sense of the word. We recommend folks dress in and/or bring whatever they feel will support their comfort for the experience--yoga mat, blanket, or portable floor chair., etc.

"Casted Frequencies" Art Workshop with London James
"Casted Frequencies" is a hands-on nostalgic art workshop inspired by the sounds, colors, and cultural forms of the ’90s and early 2000s, led by London James ceramic artist (b. 1991). Participants will customize ceramic forms using acrylic paint markers to create their own one-of-a-kind piece inspired by music, memory, and self-expression. Each ceramic form is cast from real objects and designed to spark a sense of familiarity and nostalgia, blending art, culture, and creativity into an interactive experience. Guests will leave with a unique, hand-decorated ceramic piece that reflects their personal style and connection to the era. Ages 12 and up. Claim your free "Add-on" ticket to the workshop at checkout. Space is limited.
