We want to give a huge thank you to @ShannonSeaMusic and our attendees for making our Sound Healing Session such a special and magical experience. We hope to see you at the next one! 💙

Our sound healing session is starting now! ✨💜 Join us: calendly.com/bipocit/sound-…

These sounds will help bring you into a meditative state, calming the mind. All you need to attend is a low-noise/quiet space, a comfortable place to relax, and yourself. The session will take place this Sunday at 10AM PDT / 1PM EDT / 7PM CEST. RSVP: calendly.com/bipocit/sound-…

We're excited to have Shannon Sea guide our Sound Healing Session this Sunday! 💙 Sea is Bahamian-American composer, sound artist, and sonic activist. Her live-set will feature nature soundscapes, field recordings, electro-acoustic sounds, synths, and low-frequency waves.

We are proud to announce our first ever healing session. An online space for the Black community to come together to rest, grieve, and cultivate joy. Sunday June 21st @ 7pm CEST / 10am PDT / 1pm EDT 💚 Learn more & RSVP: calendly.com/bipocit/sound-…
