Recharge & Immerse: A Mindful Musical Journey 🎧🌌

Burnout recovery and prevention begin when the mind quiets and the body feels safe to rest. Music is a powerful tool for softening into stillness and guiding awareness inward for deep relaxation.

On November 21st, Friday at 3.45 pm, we'll come together in the AnaMorphic studio for a deeply immersive sound experience guided by Natalia, using noise-cancelling headsets. As external distractions fade, we’ll be guided through mindfulness and music that invite a state of calm awareness - some describe sensations of floating among the stars, reconnecting with their body, or entering a restful, dreamlike space between sleep and wakefulness.

We'll meet on the street, in front of the gate, then go upstairs together to the studio.

✨ What to expect:

• A short welcome and introduction
• Guided mindfulness and optional deep, slow breathing to settle your system
• A period of instrumental music through immersive headsets
• Space for sharing and integration at the end

✨ This journey is for you if:

• You’re seeking calm, rest, or grounding after stress or burnout
• You find it hard to quiet your mind or fully relax
• You want to explore mindfulness in a new, sensory way
• You enjoy small, intimate settings that feel personal and safe

✨ You'll leave with:

• A body-felt sense of relaxation and presence
• A calmer, clearer mind
• A deeper connection to yourself and your inner world

✨ What to bring:

• A yoga mat, a blanket, and a cushion or pillow (you can bring one of them or all of them; we’ll be lying down for most of the session, so comfort and warmth are important. Contact Virag if you don't have a yoga mat.)
• Eye mask or scarf to minimize distractions (optional)
• Comfortable clothing (loose, non-restrictive around the belly or chest)
• A notebook and pen for notes and reflection

🧘 About the facilitator
Natalia is a certified mindfulness teacher, breathwork facilitator, and life coach. An expat living in Amsterdam with a background in the corporate world, she experienced a period of burnout during which her long-time mindfulness practice and newly discovered breathwork became a refuge. Through this experience, she came to embody the understanding that the world we see is a reflection of our inner state, inspiring her to deepen her path and train professionally in mindfulness, breathwork, and coaching. Alongside her practice, Natalia volunteers as a mindfulness teacher at VU University and with the Plum Village Online Community, sharing the same practices that continue to support and inspire her today.
