what is a guided concert?
For so many of us, our days are filled with never-ending needs, demanding schedules, and those blinking, bleeping notification windows hovering over the top of the life we ACTUALLY want to be living.
Benjamin Jay Thomas’ Guided Concert Experience invites you to silence the noise and immerse yourself in a one-of-a-kind artistic, multi-sensory, musical journey filled with an unforgettable evening of rest, reflection, and reconnection. This is your opportunity to take part in a specially curated night of great music, friends, and a celebration of life together.
The Guided Concert melds together storytelling, performance, poetry, mindfulness, breathing, and a bit of communal singing into a 1-2 hour experience that gives participants space to breathe, be and connect.
