Join us at JAMsj for an evening of listening and experiencing at our 聞く(kiku) Healing Series Event, "Listening to Our Ancestors, Listening to Our Space". At this first event of the series, participants are invited to be bathed in healing sound, ground in the energetically rich Museum space, and explore what is within. It will feature Reiki practitioners, a sound bath in the JAMsj Main Gallery, and a panel discussion moderated by P.J. Hirabayashi to spark conversation around healing from intergenerational trauma. 

Participants must bring a yoga mat and/or blanket for the sound bath, and are welcome to also bring pillows or bolsters as needed to lie comfortably on the floor for approximately 45 minutes. If you are unable to lie down or prefer to sit for the sound bath portion, please indicate on the form below to reserve a shared bench seat. 

聞く (kiku) is the Japanese word meaning "to listen", but can also mean "to ask". The Kiku Healing Series is a collaboration between JAMsj and local healers to introduce various methods of healing and wellness rooted in Japanese traditions. The 聞く(kiku) Healing series seeks to engage participants in discourse around healing as individuals and as a community, cultivating deep listenings and curiosity about about what is around us and what is within us.
