Musical Alchemy // An Evening of Musical Improv & Meditation at Northern Commons in Saint Paul, MN on Wednesday, June 24, 2026.
Join us for an evening of musical and meditation practices centered on free play, deep listening, mindfulness, and creative expression. Musicians and non-musicians alike are invited. βAt the heart of music is interrelationship: between the sounds themselves, between listening and performing, between the internal sensation and physical embodiment of the music, between self and others sharing the experience. Music-making can be a vessel for cultivating relationships across multiple levels and a lens for examining relationality itself, starting within ourselves and extending to everything. βAs a means of exploring this, weβll play musical βgamesβ: participatory exercises with minimal prompts that serve as catalysts for collaborative improvisation. Drawing on free improv music traditions and techniques, the games will focus on personal expression and experimentation, as opposed to technical skill and cultural knowledge. People of all musical skill levels and backgrounds are encouraged to participate. Weβll also explore silent meditation to practice different kinds of listening β both external and internal β as well as deeper engagement with the present moment. βCome investigate what improvisation and listening reveal about the innate creative potential and musicality within everyone!
