Exhale: A Sacred Evening of Sound, Meditation, and Music ft. Angelica Hairston, Harpist & Sound Healing Instruments by Shawn J. Moore
Let This Be Your Gentle Reminder: Pause and Take a Deep Breath
We’re still feeling the echoes of Exhale: An Evening of Sound, Meditation, and Music. This sacred space offered an unforgettable experience where every shared heartbeat, still moment, and collective sigh reminded us of the transformative power of rest and connection.
Deep gratitude to Shawn J Moore for weaving his brilliance into this offering and collaborating with such authenticity. Together, we created a sanctuary—a space for reflection, release, and renewal.
As we dream up ways to continue the magic of Exhale into 2025, may these moments inspire you to pause, breathe, and invite ease into your weeks ahead.
What Is Exhale?
Exhale is more than an event—it’s an immersive journey of sound, meditation, and live music. The event embodies the sacred act of release, blending art forms into a communal experience of relaxation and liberation.
Angelica Hairston, Atlanta-based harpist and sound practitioner, is known for her ability to amplify the voices of the African Diaspora and engage audiences through the harp’s unique resonance. At Exhale, Angelica harnesses this powerful instrument to guide participants into a state of deep renewal.
Joining her is Shawn J. Moore, a prominent sound healer and mindfulness practitioner, who creates sacred spaces for stillness and self-inquiry. Together, Angelica and Shawn explore the connections between rest, introspection, and collective liberation through:
Live improvisation
Music readings by Black authors
Captivating harp melodies
Crystal singing bowls, drums, and chimes
Yoga mats, pillows, bolsters, and props provided for relaxation and rest
Creating the Space for Rest
To nurture an atmosphere of relaxation, guests are invited to use yoga mats, blankets, socks, or anything that makes them feel at ease. This small act of preparation transforms the evening into a deeply personal and restorative experience.
A Look Ahead
As we envision the future of Exhale in 2025, we carry forward its core values: gentleness, connection, and the undeniable power of pausing to breathe. Let this serve as your invitation to weave moments of rest into your own life—moments that nourish your spirit and inspire ease.
💫 Rest well, move gently, and always remember to Exhale. 🤎
