New York - Fou Gallery sincerely invites you to join special sound healing workshops with Himalayan singing bowls on the occasion of Renqian Yang’s solo exhibition Sounds of the Ephemeral.
Renqian Yang’s research in human emotions began in 2008 when she volunteered in art therapy service during the Sichuan earthquake. Her latest series of works were conceived during quarantine in COVID-19 to discover and capture subtle and undefined emotions that are subjectively intimate but collectively comprehensible. Yang touches commonly-shared basic feelings by working on the material ceramic and painting as the medium and colors as the method. To enhance the exhibition experience, we invite sound healing practitioner Greg Rills to conduct two workshops at the closing week of Yang’s exhibition.
Sound has been utilized in various cultures for thousands of years as a tool for healing. We can see sound healing in the use of mantras as with the Hindus, the icaros of various Indigenous peoples from Central and South America, or singing bowls used in some Buddhist religious practices. Sound synchronizes our fluctuating brainwaves by providing a stable frequency which the brainwave can attune to and helps create the pathway to this place of stillness in meditation. These various techniques all have the same intention: to move us from a place of imbalance to a place of balance.
In the workshops, we’ll experience sound meditation with Himalayan singing bowls. Greg will use 7 bowls that are tuned to the vibrational frequency of each of our 7 chakras. The bowls are used in healing the mental-emotional stress that we all go through at some point in our lives, particularly during the pandemic and great uncertainty in our lives. We sincerely hope this event can help promote relaxation and offer powerful healing properties to all participants.
The event is registered by appointment. For each workshop only 15 visitors are allowed in the space. Masks are encouraged during the workshop.
纽约 - 否画廊诚邀您参加杨人倩展览《瞬逝之音》期间的特别活动 —— 用喜马拉雅颂钵呈现的声音疗愈工作坊。
2008年汶川地震时，杨人倩在当地参与艺术疗愈的志愿活动，并萌生了对人类情感的兴趣，尝试用陶瓷的色彩和形态探索不同的心理层面。新冠疫情期间，杨人倩居家隔离，从英国学者蒂芙尼·瓦特·史密斯(Tiffany Watt Smith)所作的书籍《人类情感白皮书》(The Book of Human Emotions)和美国学者约翰·凯尼格(John Koenig)创建的网站与视频公共项目《难以言喻的忧伤之辞典》(The Dictionary of Obscure Sorrows)中寻找描绘情绪的微妙词汇，创作了一系列新的陶瓷和绘画作品，试图引起观者对这些美丽而难以言喻的内心感受的共鸣。为了提升观展体验，我们特别邀请颂钵音疗专家Greg Rills在展览闭幕前举办两次工作坊。
声音疗愈运用于不同文化，已有数千年的历史。印度教徒的梵颂，中美洲和南美洲各种原住民的克丘亚语颂歌，佛教礼仪中使用的颂钵等。在声音提供的稳定的频率中，我们波动的脑电波逐渐向其同步，可以更好地静息冥想。不同的声音疗法都有相同的目的：将我们从身心不平衡的状态调整到平衡。
在这次活动中，我们将使用喜马拉雅颂钵来体验声音冥想，Greg将使用7个颂钵，根据我们的7个脉轮的振动频率进行调整。这些颂钵可以缓解我们在生活中某些时刻所经历的精神压力，尤其是在疫情期间，生活和工作有很大不确定性。我们衷心希望此次活动可以让所有参与者身心放松，感受到声音的疗愈功效。
此次活动需要提前预约。每次颂钵音疗工作坊仅允许15位访客。活动期间建议佩戴口罩。
