EMERGENCE presents a Star Harmony sound medicine ceremony inside the Bishop Planetarium at The Bishop Museum of Science and Nature, placing participants beneath a sky of stars during the Leo New Moon solar eclipse and the peak of the Perseid meteor shower. An immersive sound bath unfolds across the dome with tones from crystal singing bowls, planetary gongs, chimes, and intentionally tuned frequencies, forming a sonic environment that feels both spacious and centering. The experience encourages slowing down, softening mental chatter, and reconnecting with a deeper inner wisdom so next steps can come into focus.

The previous two gatherings at this planetarium sold out, and a livestream will be available.
