FREIRAUM Salon #39

“Sound Journey into Summer”
Deep relaxation & mystical sounds with Calli Laxy

2 July 2025, 6 pm

As the last FREIRAUM Salon before the summer break, we invite you to a Sound Journey with Calli Laxy. In the sound bath, you can expect a gentle journey inward, a space to let go, arrive, and recharge. Immerse yourself in a sea of frequencies and let yourself be carried by spherical sounds of instruments from all over the world. These special sounds calm the nervous system and open us up to deep relaxation.
You can expect an intuitive sound journey with gong, singing bowls, Koshi & other instruments, deep nervous system regeneration, and space to reflect.

No prior knowledge is required, but feel free to bring your own mat, blanket & anything else that helps you feel comfortable (if available).

Admission is free!

Feel free to reach out with any questions or to register:

School of Experiences 2025
“What About Reality?”

In May 2025, Ben J. Riepe—together with numerous key figures from the arts and sciences—invites you to the third edition of the School of Experience, an interdisciplinary format for students, artists, and an engaged public.

Under the title “What about Reality?”, we will explore current questions surrounding body, art, cognition, and AI—at a time when our realities and perceptions are constantly shifting. Between discourses, workshops, and lived experiences, a space opens up where thinking, sensing, and acting resonate with one another.

Module 1: May 2–3
Module 2: May 22–25

At various locations in Düsseldorf: FREIRAUM Düsseldorf, Weltkunstzimmer, and—in cooperation with the North Rhine-Westphalian Academy of Sciences and Arts—in the Academy’s spaces!

The FREIRAUM community is especially warmly invited to attend all events and formats of the School of Experience “What about Reality?”.
You can find the full SoE 2025 program here!
