Mind Over Matters: Musical Healing for Weird Times

Come to The Great Lawn for an afternoon of deep listening, community and bliss through music. Mind Over Matters: Musical Healing for Weird Times features The Fatback DJ’s, famous for their raucous funk and soul parties, who want us all to take a warm spring afternoon, slow down and focus on beauty. This event starts with Local DJs playing a mix of ethereal, electronic and classical music designed to wash over you and loosen tension. A Chilean psychedelic band ramps up the energy around sunset, and then the Fatback DJs bring us into full joy for a close out dance party.

5pm – An Intro to Deep Listening and Musical Meditation
5:30pm – Local DJ’s Play Music for Bliss
6:30pm – The MacManus Experiment groves out on Chilean Psych
