By day, the center will host programming and workshops including sound meditations and breathwork, fostering deeper connection with oneself. In the evening, the space will transform into a vibrant hub with music showcases, concerts, and open mics encouraging community connection. Operating on a hybrid for-profit/non-profit model, Sound Mind Center ensures equitable access to all. Interested investors, donors, and partners can learn more HERE.
