As we listen to and see images and videos of events from around the world, as well as from our own backyards, we can feel a wide range of emotions in a very brief amount of time which can linger within us for extended periods. At times we can feel helpless. As human beings, it is our nature to be of service to others, especially to those in crisis. We are also discovering that we are energy and that everything is energy. When we see ourselves as energy, we have the power to be of service far beyond the limited capabilities of our physical bodies. We can emit loving energy to anyone anywhere. We are all linked through the air we breathe.
During this deep relaxation and sound bath, participants close their eyes and allow the sound of the gong to relax their nervous systems and slow their breathing. Aneela Dean takes them through a guided meditation of being in their energy-body, in love energy, and guides them to expand this heart energy out to the planet.
This session is offered in conjunction with the Design as Activism Symposium. Although the full symposium requires registration, drop-ins to We are all Loving Energy are welcome.
We are all Loving Energy is presented as part of Healing Centered Practices, a series of free, customized healing workshops held in conjunction with Art Design Chicago projects. Activities offered during each workshop range from guided meditations and fire rituals to storytelling and herbalism primers. The objective of Healing Centered Practices is to help audiences connect to exhibitions on deeper levels while helping Chicago cultural institutions strengthen their relationships with their audiences. Healing Centered Practices is organized by 6018North, Red Line Service, and artist Rhonda Wheatley.
