About this event

  • 1 hour 15 minutes

Embark on a profound and immersive sonic odyssey, where the celestial melodies of the kora, sitar, and flutes gracefully intertwine with ethereal ambient drones. These harmonious vibrations cradle your senses, creating a transcendental tapestry of meditative soundscapes that gently guide you through a transformative and rejuvenating sound bath experience.

Close your eyes and let the enchanting music wash over you, transporting your mind to a place of serenity and inner reflection. In this enchanting musical journey, you’ll discover the timeless power of sound to uplift your spirit, transcend boundaries, and connect with the boundless universe of your own consciousness.

Egemen Sanli, also known as Ege, is a contemporary dervish who embarks on a journey to discover his own unique sound in world music while proudly representing his Turkish heritage. He skillfully blends various ethnic instruments such as the sitar, caglama, saz, santoor, ud, ngoni, kora, flutes, and more to create an enchanting and rejuvenating experience for his listeners. With a mastery of traditional Eastern ragas, he infuses his lively improvisations with beats, looks, and synths to further enhance the hypnotic atmosphere of his music.

Bring your favorite yoga mat, a blanket, and a pillow and take a deeply meditative sonic journey with immersive sound.
