Drawing from the cleansing, relaxing, ritual and transformative potential of both public bathing and collective sonic experiences, Julia E. Dyck is approaching the gallery as a public sound bath house. Dyck will host collective practices including sound bath, noise meditation, group hypnosis and participatory workshops using sound and voice to relate to and care for others.

Using her training in hypnotherapy, Dyck will offer hypnosis sessions with live soundscapes to small groups – addressing collective issues, in opposition to traditional one on one therapy. These group hypnosis sessions are an attempt at collective queer healing, transcendence and connection through combining the practice of hypnotherapy with the synergy of voice, electronics, and resonant instruments in an installation setting. These sessions invite you to access the power of the trance state and potential of the subconscious mind to cultivate fantasy, comfort and sensuality.

The sessions will take place in French and English.
Maximum 10 participants per session.
