Wellbeing Week Kick-off: Sound bath & relax your senses

Start your Wellbeing Week lying down. A sound bath is a guided listening experience: you rest on a mat, close your eyes and let live sound wash over you. Think of it as a meditation where you don't have to do anything. No talking, no moving, no experience needed. Just listening.

Professional musicians & volunteers of the L'Okapi community, a Maastricht collective for creative self-expression, play live instruments and voice. The layered tones and vibrations help your mind slow down and your body let go. Many people describe it as the most relaxed they have felt in weeks. Some even fall asleep, and that's fine too.

 

Good to know

Mats and cushions are provided. Wear comfortable clothes and bring warm socks and an extra layer, as your body cools down when you lie still. Please arrive a few minutes early: the session starts at 9:30 sharp. Prefer to sit instead of lie down? That's completely okay.

 

Bio Space Holders

Ananya Samyt, Aga Bukowska & Charlotte Haesen are part of the founding core of the L'Okapi community. They believe that everyone has a voice worth hearing, and that creativity is one of the most direct ways to find it. Together they create spaces where young adults can slow down, express themselves freely and feel part of something. From weekly creative sessions to dance nights, open stages and concerts across Maastricht, their work follows one simple idea: through self-expression to self-direction. The three of them together are known to improvise with their voices to create angelic choirs and earthy chants.
