A Sleep Hike To The Empty Space
Manage episode 518554064 series 3672295
Sometimes things get too stressful here at The Jiffy, a podcast about upstate New York that really takes you places.
And when this happens, I lace up my hiking boots and guide you on a restful Sleep Hike, where I do the hiking, while you do the sleeping.
I've been told that my methods could use some training, so in this episode we visit Anna Yang and Alex Artymiak, the co-founders of Empty Space.
Empty Space is a sound studio in Old Chatham, New York, with ancient singing bowls, gongs, sansulas, harps, and more, and in this episode, we learn how we can perhaps tune out the noise by listening to the sounds within.
You can find Anna and Alex at @emptyspace.sound.
