Join antidisciplinary artist Mellow Baku for a unique voice-led sound bath that honours ancestral heritage through breath, song, and mantra. Drawing on instruments rooted in her mixed Indigenous Black cultures, Mellow layers live vocal looping with sacred sound to create an atmosphere for inspiration, healing, and release.

This immersive session invites you to:

  • Bring an object for circle sharing (optional).
  • Actively participate or simply relax into the experience.
  • Be part of a sensory, sacred, and inclusive space designed to celebrate ancestry and community.
