Basking in Gravity is an opportunity to explore our relationship with one of the fundamental forces of the universe. This art/mindfulness experience combines elements of audiovisual installation and participatory performance with yin yoga and sitting meditation. It’s a practice of finding equanimity in discomfort as gravity pulls our bodies home to the dirt, overwhelming false binaries, and expanding mental and corporeal boundaries in the process.

Daniel “Cosmic Chambo” Chamberlin (@cosmic.chambo) uses his experience as an artist, Zen student, yoga teacher, and former emergency medical responder to lead practitioners through 90 minutes of non-self improvement meditation and slow-and-low yin yoga practice. Basking in Gravity takes place in an immersive audiovisual environment that includes organic video projections and “heavy mellow” audio. Based on Chamberlin’s weekly Inter-Dimensional Music FM broadcast, the soundtrack builds from contemplative drone, spiritual jazz, dub, and ambient music to a crescendo of cosmic metal.

Basking in Gravity is intended to be accessible to all bodies and experience levels. In the interest of accommodating epidemiologically vulnerable practitioners, the session is only open to vaccinated individuals. PLEASE BRING YOUR OWN YOGA MAT.

Feel free to contact cosmic dot chambo at gmail if you have any questions or concerns about this practice.
