“A fulfilling, singular and even sometimes profound experience”
—Brandy McDonnell, The Oklahoman
Part flash mob, part silent disco, part Mass—OF A MIND is a guided tour of your community.
Set to a score of local stories, sounds, and music, audiences of up to 50 at a time are brought on a journey through often-missed parts of their environment in an exploration of mindfulness, urban ecology and social interactions.
Audiences are kept in sync with each other through their own smartphone and headphones.
Meditative, immersive, and informed by the latest in mind-body research, audiences dive deeply into the mystery of our minds as we step into rhythm with our breath and take a trip through the collective consciousness.
