In this garden, described as “something of the dream world” by landscape architect Lester Collins, join Innisfree for an extraordinary sound bath after the site closes to other visitors. Like Innisfree itself, this ancient therapeutic practice uses sound and deep listening to foster connection and healing. Incorporating various musical instruments and the sounds and resonance of the place itself, sound practitioner Ben Brown will create an immersive sound environment wherein participants lie down or sit and simply focus on listening to reach a relaxed state, heighten awareness, and elevate the consciousness.
No prior experience with meditation or yoga is required. Participants should bring a yoga mat, blanket or folding chair and water. It is recommended that participants arrive before 5 p.m. to allow enough time to check in, walk to the sound bath location, and get settled.
This gathering is held in honor of the United Nations International Day of Peace as part of the continent-wide Gardens for Peace (G4P) program launched by the North American Japanese Garden Association. Architect Charles Moore wrote that his friend, frequent collaborator, and Innisfree's landscape architect Lester Collins addressed a question most designers forget, "how do we shape the human environment to foster the good things shared by people of all cultures—peace, awareness, beauty?" In this spirit, Innisfree and this sound bath serve as opportunities to strengthen connections to nature and community and consider (even experience) what peace means today.
