How?

Taylor Maude Love leads a guided meditation to start the event.
LEEJAY curates a melodic lineup of local DJs (and spins a set himself).
Local vendors (e.g. ceramicists) offer activities and goods.
The Tea Stand serves free tea all event long!

Why?

To create a space for creative expression and connection.

Many events in NYC involve alcohol, spending money, and music that's too loud for meaningful conversation.

Steeped in Sound is our response to this – a Sunday afternoon event focused on community, collaboration, and free tea and music for all!
