Rest and Digest

A sound bath is a relaxation technique created to immerse you in a meditative experience. Submerge yourself in the calming reverberations of crystal bowls, tuning forks and other instruments that produce a gentle overtone that will assist you on your way to a restful night. Sara Auster is a sound therapist and a master of the sound bath form, having performed at iconic venues including Madison Square Garden and the Museum of Modern Art.

The Office

Have you ever experienced ASMR? It stands for autonomous sensory meridian response, but it’s more commonly known as the tingly sensation some people feel in their scalp, neck and spine in response to a particular sound or other trigger. It’s a feeling of well-being and relaxation, and one that a growing number of “ASMRtists” strive to create.

The Office is a unique ASMR experience by New York-based ASMR collective Whisperlodge. In this audio experience, an ASMRtist explains the history and evolution of the art form while simulating the everyday sounds of the office, like paper shuffling in your hands or the gentle clink of paper clips.
