SATURDAY OCTOBER 19TH IN ZONZIJ AT PARALLEL (ENTRY VIA IJPROMENADE 2)

Immerse yourself in a sensory and intuitive mindfulness session, combined with music and a drawing session. After the success of "Mark to the Music" during the Amsterdam Dance Event in the Museum of the Mind, we bring this mindful art experience to Parallel. Explore your inner world through sound and color, using mindfulness-based techniques.

This multidisciplinary art intervention is guided by Jolien Posthumus, a professional mindfulness trainer and creator of "Mark to Music". The beats are provided by DJ Nelly. Let yourself be taken on a personal journey, with the power of electronic music and sound through a guided visual meditation.

There are 2 time slots available to be chosen. All supplies to participate are provided. The meditation takes place in a quiet environment, invites you to stay in silence and provides enough space to not be bothered by other participants. All supplies to participate (meditation cushion, paper and crayon) are provided. Feel free to bring your own meditation gear. Maybe you would like to wear comfortable clothes, whatever works for you. Come as you are. Drawing experience not necessary. Special thanks to preferred partner Yogisha for sponsoring the meditation cushions!

Mental Health

Jolien Posthumus created this program especially for Amsterdam Dance Event in 2022 and has been a successful program ever since on several events. Electronic music is taken out of the dancefloor context and integrated in a proven meditation practice that supports your mental health. With this program Museum of the Mind, Parallel and ADE aim to highlight the positive impact of art and music on mental health.

DJ Nelly

Adopted by Nous’Klaer, Clone, and Phuture West: the whole of Rotterdam is already captivated by Nelly (formerly known as Nelly Dragon). In the Maasstad, she became addicted to nineties rave tunes and hardcore, and is still addicted to dark basement music, but in a deeper corner. Oh, and during the coronavirus period, she also immersed herself in ambient music for sets on radio station Operator. “Ridiculously talented!!”, says Lisa Molle (Dekmantel). “Dreamy techno, flawlessly mixed, and not afraid to surprise you by waking you up from that dream with pounding breakbeats.

Jolien Posthumus

With a background in Applied Arts and in health care, Jolien curates programs and art meditations that explore the relationship between art, mindfulness and mental health. As trailblazer Art & Mental Health, she supports cultural and healthcare institutions to implement the positive impact of art on mental health in their programs and is a frequently asked public speaker. Jolien is founder of Mindfulness in Museums, art experiences that promote mental health and broaden our view of the world.
