WHAT TO EXPECT

This is a 1-hour immersive guided sound journey inside the OMSI Planetarium.

As moving stars and cosmic visuals flow across the dome above you, you’ll be guided through a live meditative experience designed to quiet the mind, regulate the nervous system, and reconnect you with the present moment.

This experience is designed to be received primarily with your eyes open, allowing you to fully immerse yourself in the visuals, sound, and atmosphere of the planetarium. You are also welcome to close your eyes at any time during the journey.

• You will be seated comfortably beneath the planetarium dome

• You’ll be invited to set a silent intention for your experience

• Ashley Johnson will guide the meditation live throughout the journey

• The experience opens with the live handpan played by Seth Lyons, creating a grounding and calming entry into the experience

• Crystal singing bowls performed live by Judith Cunningham gradually fill the space with layered sound and vibration

• Moving stars and immersive cosmic visuals will surround the dome throughout the session

From there, you are guided into a state of deep presence, relaxation, awareness, and inner connection.

There is nothing you need to do.
Simply allow yourself to experience it.

What Makes This Experience Unique

This is not a traditional meditation or sound bath.

Inside the OMSI Planetarium, live sound, guided meditation, and immersive visuals come together to create a fully surrounding experience unlike anything most people have experienced before.

Live Guided Meditation (Ashley Johnson)

Ashley gently guides the audience throughout the experience, helping quiet the mind and deepen presence beneath the stars.

Live Handpan (played by Seth Lyons)

The rhythmic and melodic tones of the handpan create a grounding, emotional, and deeply calming atmosphere.

Crystal Singing Bowls (played by Judith Cunningham)

The sustained frequencies of the bowls support relaxation, energetic balance, and inner awareness.

Immersive Planetarium Visuals

Moving stars and cosmic imagery flow across the dome above you, creating the feeling of traveling through space while fully immersed in sound.

Together, these elements create an experience that is both grounding and expansive.

What to bring

To make your experience as comfortable as possible, we recommend bringing:

• a light blanket or sweater

• water

• anything that helps you feel relaxed and comfortable

We will have a limited number of blankets available if needed.

This experience may not be for you if:

• You are looking for constant stimulation or distraction

• You are uncomfortable slowing down or becoming still

• You only want passive entertainment without introspection

• You are unwilling to disconnect from your phone or outside noise for one hour

This experience meets you where you are, not where you think you should be.

This is powerful experience.
And it works because you’re willing to give yourself this time.
