Sound Bath Series
2026-07-07 18:45 - 19:45 | Mint Museum Uptown
Join the Mint Museum for a calming and immersive Sound Bath experience led by facilitator Emmanuel Daniels. Held on the first Tuesday of each month, this restorative program invites participants to slow down, reset, and connect through sound.
Each session incorporates elements of breathwork, guided meditation, gentle movement, and live instrumental and vocal sound, creating a soothing environment designed to support relaxation and reflection. Taking place in the Mint Museum Uptown Atrium, the Sound Bath offers a peaceful way to unwind midweek and experience the museum in a sensory-rich setting.
Participants are encouraged to bring a yoga mat, a bolster, a blanket, or a pillow for comfort. Chairs will also be available throughout the room for those who prefer to participate seated.

The Mint Museum is pleased to welcome Florian Dach and Dimitri Zephir for their first
lecture in the United States.
Graduates of the National School of Decorative Arts in Paris, the duo founded the creative studio dach&zephir in 2016. Conceived as an open and experimental creative space, the studio brings together their shared experiences rooted between Paris and Guadeloupe.
One of their most recent key research projects, Élòj kréyòl, uses design and contemporary cultural objects to examine and reimagine the overlooked, fragmented, and forgotten cultural and craft traditions of Creole societies in the West Indies.
