About this Event
In September, our regular Mindfulness session with Christiane Wolf will be replaced by a Sound Bath led by Kris Matsuoka. Christiane returns on Wednesday, October 7.
Whether you are new to meditation or already have experience, we welcome you to this community sit in the beautiful A-Frame Theater of the Wende Museum’s Community Center. Each session is followed by complimentary garden refreshments and an optional movement class.
This Sound Bath is designed as a continuation of Christiane Wolf’s regular Wellness Wednesday session. We will begin together with a visualization for inner peace, followed by a guided relaxation of the body to help release tension, and finish by relaxing together to sound from live instruments tuned specifically to help you find peace. Please wear comfortable clothes. Floor space is limited for those who wish to lie down for the full experience, but you are welcome to bring a yoga mat, pillow, and blankets.
Teacher Bio:
Kris Matsuoka is a Los Angeles native and a graduate of Art Center College of Design in Pasadena. He lives and works in Culver City, California.
While working in the creative industry, Kris was always asked the same question: “How do you come up with your ideas?” That led to an ongoing exploration of a second question: “Where do ideas even come from?” Looking into the lives of his favorite artists and mentors, Kris found one common thread. They had all turned to meditation at some point, and discovered that “not knowing” is a nice place to be.
Through the practice of meditation, Kris has seen how it can sharpen our perception of the world and reconnect us with nature. Sound meditation has become his most recent area of focus. For the past decade, he has hosted Sound Baths, workshops, and classes that use sound to invoke a sense of wonder and help people relax. Kris has found that in a relaxed, free, and peaceful state, your best ideas come most clearly.
An ADA-accessible entrance to the Wende Museum Community Center is available through the gate from the parking lot at 10858 Culver Blvd. Limited floor space is first come, first serve. Please arrive early as RSVP does not guarantee admission to this free program.
