Ignite your inner calm with an evening of sound and shadow! October 8th, step out of the daily rush and into the glow. Mindful MAGiC: Candlelit Consciousness Concert invites you to experience our auditorium as never before—filled with gongs and transformed into a flickering sanctuary of over 200 candles.

Harold Taddy brings the sound bath element of MAG’s celebrated wellness series to the main stage, weaving a tapestry of tranquil soundscapes. To help guide your journey, this performance features poetic guided meditations by spoken word artist Theo Trombulak woven seamlessly throughout the experience, creating a space that is as intellectually stirring as it is restorative.

Part recital and part immersive meditation, this is a rare opportunity to experience “concert-style” mindfulness in a supportive, beautifully lit environment.

This is a seated experience—just bring yourself. Less movement, more MAGiC—just you and the sound.
