Creative Labs, in collaboration with Metta Creative, will be offering a refreshing and comfortable space for makers and shakers to come together weekly! On Sunday evenings from 5:30-9 PM, the incredible artistic community of Baltimore and beyond can come together in Creative Labs’s collaborate art warehouse and indulge in a bountiful potluck and rejuvenating sound bath experience. Fill up with an abundant spread of plant-based food options and unwind as powerful, healing tones resonate through your body and mind.
At the forefront of the event, Justin Patterson offers his culinary expertise in the realm of plant-based foods. Attendees are encouraged to bring their own dishes as well, to share with and nourish the community. All attendees who arrive with food in hand receive $5 off entry! Whether you’re taking the opportunity to learn to make that vegan dish you’ve been dreaming of, or simply clearing out perishables to avoid food waste, every effort is appreciated in this space! Justin will be providing one specially-curated dish and a salad weekly, so don’t let empty arms and an empty belly deter you!
This event’s starring feature is a deeply immersive sound bath experience led by Mary Gellen (@soundwizardmary), a self-proclaimed and widely-respected Sound Wizard. Participants enter the space through a converted-van-turned-art-project, inspiring an artistic environment similar to that of the famous Meow Wolf in Santa Fe, New Mexico. The healing experience is held in a geodesic dome piled high with pillows while psychedelic fractals and imagery are projected overhead, pulsating as bodies fill the intimate space.
Channeling divine feminine energy and focused expertise, Mary utilizes a massive gong to carry the group through guided meditation, creating powerful sound waves to wash over and refresh your being. On occasion, Mary will be accompanied by guest facilitators who provide healing vocals, tibetan singing bowls, and other energetically-charging tools. Last week, Sha Golanski (@plantbasedpirate) led a ceremony with freshly-brewed cacao manifested directly from Guatemala. To round out the experience, the community goes around the room introducing themselves, opening up to one another about the experience. They’re even able to participate in some sound production of their own, from collective oms to shaking tambourines and maracas!
