After a wonderful Basking in Gravity session in southeastern Michigan at the Ypsi Freak Fest last weekend, the immersive audiovisual/yoga/meditation project returns to our home base in Indianapolis. Join us at Healer on Sunday, October 13 from 1-3pm for slow-and-low yin yoga and Zen-inspired "non-self improvement" meditation. As usual, this Sunday’s practice at Healer will include organic hand-spun video projections, and a live-from-the-yoga-mat Inter-Dimensional Music soundtrack that builds from blackened ambient music and ritualistic dub to a crescendo of heady metal.
Big gratitude to our friends at Wyrd Byrd and Ziggy’s for all the hospitality and support. Sincere thanks to the wonderful people who joined us to practice. Hopefully we’ll be back soon!
• Basking in Gravity is intended to be accessible to all bodies and skill levels: No experience required.
• Our session is more or less appropriate for all-ages, though it’s characterized by stillness so younger practitioners might get bored?
• Yin yoga is a sinking, cooling, non-striving practice: layers of comfortable, loose-fitting clothing recommended.
• We’ve got blocks and blankets for at least 20 people, but please bring a yoga mat and/or cushion if you can. Don’t worry if you can’t! We’ll figure something out.
• It's loud, but only for brief periods of time: Earplugs welcome, but not required.
• Basking in Gravity involves discussion of mortality, but is not intended as a "bad trip" experience.
• Find more info about Basking in Gravity here.
You can preview the Basking in Gravity soundtrack on Inter-Dimensional Music, which debuts on 99.1FM WQRT Indianapolis each Saturday at noon (ET), with an encore presentation the following Friday at noon. We’re also enjoying our 15th year on the Chihuahuan Desert airwaves of Marfa Public Radio: Tune in, turn on, and opt-out from Ojinaga to the Oilfield, Sunday nights at 11p (CT).
If you miss the live broadcast, you can find recent episodes in back issues of this newsletter, or at the Inter-Dimensional Music FM page at mixcloud.com/InterDimensionalMusic.
There are also over 200 episodes available to stream in the 2017-2022 Inter-Dimensional Music archive at mixcloud.com/CosmicChambo.
If you know anyone who might enjoy Vøid Contemplation Tactics or Basking in Gravity, please pass it along. It means a lot! Thank you.
Word of mouth is our primary form of promotion. Vøid Contemplation Tactics doesn’t do much on social media, which is good for our mental health. As Dōgen's teacher told him, “You don't have to collect many people like clouds. Sitting with many fake practitioners is inferior to sitting with a few genuine practitioners. Choose a small number of true persons of the way and become friends with them.”
