Basking in Gravity<\/em><\/strong> is an opportunity to explore our relationship with one of the fundamental forces of the universe. This art\/mindfulness experience combines elements of audiovisual installation and participatory performance with yin yoga and sitting meditation. It’s a practice of finding equanimity in discomfort as gravity pulls our bodies apart, overwhelming false binaries, and expanding mental and corporeal boundaries in the process.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

We are limiting attendance to allow for social-distancing, so sign up sooner rather than later.<\/strong> If you\u2019re feeling under the weather, or suspect that you\u2019ve been in proximity to particles and droplets of respiratory fluids that contain the SARS CoV-2 virus, stay home!<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Basking in Gravity <\/em>takes place in an immersive and adaptive audiovisual environment that includes organic video projections and “heavy mellow” audio. Based on Chamberlin’s weekly Inter-Dimensional Music <\/em>FM radio broadcast, the soundtrack builds from contemplative drone, spiritual jazz, and ambient music to a crescendo of cosmic metal.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Artist Daniel “Cosmic Chambo” Chamberlin uses his experience as a Zen student, yoga teacher, and former emergency medical responder<\/a> to lead practitioners through 90 minutes of non-self improvement meditation and unhurried movement. This is a slow-and-low yin yoga practice, a descending, non-striving counterbalance to the uplift of exercise-focused yang yoga. It is a chance to drift and sink into the flow of our bodily fluids in a ritualistic celebration of impermanence. As another yoga teacher once wrote, “savasana \u2013 corpse pose \u2013 is the ultimate yin pose: at the end of our lives we become completely yin.”<\/p>\n\n\n\n
