The topic of this month’s Sound Bath is neutrality at the basis from which advanced perception can arise, involving an open mind. But what is an open mind? Is it possible to disengage from preconceived notions built on assumptions and patterns which often conclude automatically before ‘we’ even had a chance to think? Come and experience Iris’ huge AJNA Singing Bowl, harmonically paired with further instruments, inviting us into a powerful state of consciousness through Gamma brainwaves. These types of brain waves occur naturally when we deeply concentrate or sense to be in perfect flow. The specific sound spectrum offered here endorses liberation through effortless, relaxed focus which opens new pathways and lets us recognize the relevance of interconnections - all paramount to tap into our highest potential. A Workhouse “Sound Bath” is where people come together for a pleasant and relaxing experience created through sound by a sound healing practitioner who is playing live a variety of specific instruments. After a brief introduction to sound in the beginning, the listeners will be "immersed" in soft sound vibrations lying on a mat or sitting on a chair. Guided by the sound healing practitioner, the listeners will have time to return from their journey and will have the opportunity to share their experience, if desired, at the end of the Sound Bath. Each Sound Bath is uniquely created with a selection of instruments that could include Tibetan singing bowls, gongs, drums, bells, and harps as well as crystal singing bowls, tuning forks, or others. Come and experience the benefits of this sound immersion to deeply relax, lift, and rejuvenate your whole being on a Sunday afternoon! Benefits of a SOUND BATH can include: Calming of the nervous system Inducing better sleep Uplifting of mood Increased ability to focus Restoration and strengthening An overall greater sense of well-being Bring a mat, blanket, and pillow for your comfort; chairs are provided. The Sound Baths are primarily designed for adults, and it is not recommended for children to attend. However, exceptions may be made for children aged 12 or older who can remain quiet for 60 minutes. To ensure the comfort of other attendees, parents may be requested to leave with their children in case of any disruptions. Join the Sound Bath at Art of Movement, every 3rd Sunday.

The Lucy Burns Museum at the Workhouse Arts Center is proud to present the second season of Learning at Lunch, a series illuminating aspects of the former prison’s 91-year history. Each month, we invite an expert to tackle a topic from our complicated past. After a brief 30-minute talk, presenters answer audience questions, and all attendees are invited to visit the museum following the program. Table seating provided and attendees are encouraged to bring their own lunch; snacks and beverages available for purchase.
As Women’s Equality Day approaches, consider the role the Workhouse played in the Women’s Suffrage Movement, holding over 70 of the suffragists who picketed the White House. There were other suffragists never arrested or jailed who contributed to the movement in other and equally important ways. Among them were a rainmaker, a cartoonist, and a lady with a typewriter and a telephone. Author and long-term museum volunteer Kenena Spalding highlights their contributions.
