*An intimate evening for deep rest, reflection, and renewal.* ​**Resonance and Ritual: Sound Journey & Tea Ceremony** ​Step out of the Hong Kong work rhythm and into an evening of nervous system restoration, deep presence, and gentle connection. **Resonance and Ritual** is a small-group sound journey and tea ceremony created especially for busy professionals who want to slow down without “checking out” of their lives. ​We’ll begin with a candle lighting intention ritual. Then we'll gently settle into a guided sound journey using sound bowls, chimes, and other soothing instruments to help your body release tension and your mind soften out of work mode. From there, we transition into a mindful tea ceremony, inviting you to experience tea as a grounding ritual — one sip, one breath, one shared moment at a time. ​This experience is ideal if you: * ​Feel mentally and emotionally drained from long workdays * ​Find it hard to switch off, even when you’re home * ​Miss feeling present, connected, and at ease in your own body ​**What’s included** * ​Guided sound journey (approx. 40 minutes) * ​Mindful tea ceremony with high-quality loose-leaf tea * ​Mats/props provided (you may bring your own if you prefer) * ​A calm, supportive space to integrate and reflect ​**Event details** * ​Date: Friday, 17 April * ​Time: 7:00 - 8:30 PM * ​Venue: Sacred Space Therapy and Wellness Studio, Cheung Sha Wan * ​Capacity: Limited to 7 participants for depth and comfort * ​Exchange: * ​Early Bird - 375 HKD (First 3) * ​Standard - 420 HKD * ​Group (2+) - 390 HKD ​**What to bring** * ​Comfortable clothing suitable for lying down * ​A light sweater or shawl * ​Optional: journal and pen

AI is changing how art is made. But when does it stop being your work and start being the machine’s? This month we're going to be doing a panel with with digital image, music, and written word artists, talking about at what point, while using AI in the creation process, does the work become not the artist creation? We encourage audience participation during this event that will be moderated by Chris Slee. Whether you’re deep in the field or just getting curious, come connect with others building and exploring AI in Columbus.
