SUMMARY:Sound Bath Meditation with Hummingbird Healing Center
DESCRIPTION:Please bring a yoga mat and pillow \nLisa’s unique immersive Sound Bath Meditations are multi-instrumental soundscapes designed to reset your nervous system. They typically begin with a short guided meditation to relax the participants as they lie down on yoga mats with blankets\, bolsters and eye pillows. As the soothing sounds wash over the participants—hence the term “sound bath”— Lisa allows the Himalayan bowls\, gongs\, crystal bowls\, drums\, rainsticks\, percussion\, nature sounds and her voice to work their magic. Coming out of the Sound Bath\, the participants often feel more relaxed\, reset and refreshed. \nLisa Pak is the founder and owner of Hummingbird Healing Center\, whose mission is to help people heal through the power of sound. \nShe has received several sound healing certifications from prestigious institutions\, including those from the Sage Academy of Sound in Woodstock\, NY and the Sound Healers Academy in the UK. \nA lifelong spiritual seeker practicing yoga and meditation since her twenties\, Lisa is also a trained classical musician and vocalist. In recent years\, she has focused on the voice as an instrument of healing\, rather than performance or entertainment. She stands on the shoulders of her teachers and mentors\, who are pioneers in the field of voice\, including Silvia Nakkash\, Chloe Goodchild\, Heather Houston and the Brothers Koran.

SUMMARY:MoCACT Sessions: Chris Brubeck's Triple Play
DESCRIPTION:Triple Play unites three exceptional American musicians — Peter “Madcat” Ruth\, Joel Brown\, and Chris Brubeck — whose collective roots stretch back nearly 40 years through rock\, jazz\, folk\, blues\, and classical music\, including world tours with the legendary Dave Brubeck and a recording at Abbey Road Studios with the London Symphony Orchestra. Together they bring what Downbeat calls “good-time rhythm\, unbridled joy\, and the sweet release but bittersweet aftertaste of the blues” to concert halls\, clubs\, and festivals across the country\, including a celebrated appearance at the Monterey Jazz Festival. Don’t miss this rare and boundary-stretching evening of virtuosity\, humor\, and pure American spirit.

SUMMARY:Community Conversation With Kathryn Turley-Sonne + Rachel Churner
DESCRIPTION:January 29\, 2026\n6pm \nJoin MoCACT for a dynamic panel discussion that considers both the exhibition ‘Enough Already: Women Artists from the Sara M. + Michelle Vance Waddell Collection’ and the groundbreaking work of Carolee Schneemann featured within it. Moderated by Kathryn Turley-Sonne (PhD)\, professor\, writer\, and an organizer of the exhibition\, the conversation will situate Schneemann’s practice within the broader context of the exhibition’s 80-plus works by modern and contemporary women artists who challenge conventions around gender\, identity\, and social change. Joining Turley-Sonne is Rachel Churner\, art critic\, editor\, and director of the Carolee Schneemann Foundation. \nThe talk will highlight three Schneemann works currently on loan and on view at MoCACT: Interior Scroll (1974/1975)\, photographs documenting her influential 1975 performance\, and The Message (1974)\, a drawing that extends the visual and conceptual vocabulary of her performance practice. These works will serve as a lens through which the panel explores themes central to Enough Already\, including the body\, agency\, and the politics of representation in feminist art. \nThis program takes place on Thursday\, January 29\, 2026\, at 6pm at MoCACT\, in conjunction with the exhibition’s run through February 15\, 2026. Attendees are invited to experience the exhibition before the program and to join an engaging conversation about Schneemann’s legacy and the ongoing impact of women artists in shaping contemporary visual culture.

SUMMARY:Performance: Sarah Hennies and Tristan Kasten-Krause
DESCRIPTION:Saturday\, December 6\, 2025 | 7 pm\n$10 Members and Students; $15 General Admission \nJoin us for an intimate duo performance by composer and percussionist Sarah Hennies and bassist Tristan Kasten-Krause\, presented in connection with Zak Prekop: Durations. Hennies and Kasten-Krause will present a 40-60 minute set of experimental music within the Museum’s galleries\, offering a meditative\, resonant experience that blurs the boundaries between sound\, space\, and visual art. \nSarah Hennies is known for her immersive and durational performances that explore psychoacoustic phenomena\, queerness\, and the act of listening. Her duo with Kasten-Krause combines sensitivity and restraint\, crafting quiet\, expansive works that unfold gradually over time. \nThis event is presented in conjunction with Zak Prekop: Durations (on view through January 11\, 2026)\, an exhibition exploring visual rhythm\, repetition\, and the temporality of painting. It also marks the launch of Zak Prekop’s first museum publication. This fully illustrated\, 32-page softcover catalogue features bold new abstract paintings by the artist\, along with an interview between Prekop and curator Eduardo Andres Alfonso. The catalogue will be available for purchase at the event.
