New York
stillpoint is a two-hour live ritual: guided breathwork, live sound, and long, protected stillness in a dark room with fifty-odd other people.
It is not a class, a concert, or a therapy session. Nobody watches you. You lie on the floor, you're guided through five portals — Root, Breathe, Feel, Release, Land — and you leave with your nervous system in a different place than you arrived.
If you have never done breath or sound work, this is a good first room. Everything is guided out loud, step by step, and you can stop at any point.
Sound
Live gongs, crystal alchemy bowls, and handpan — loud enough to feel in your chest, never painful. Earplugs are available at the door.
The floor
You spend most of the evening lying down in a nest of mat, bolster, and blanket. Chairs are available.
Duration
Two hours, doors twenty minutes prior.
Temperature
Kept warm, around 74°F. Bodies cool quickly during long stillness, so bring a layer.
Emotion
Tears, laughter, shaking, and deep sleep all happen in these rooms. All of it is welcome and none of it is required.
Co-founders
Christine Grace & Ben Brown
Christine and Ben are the co-founders of stillpoint. Christine guides sound, breath, and embodied awareness; Ben brings two decades of bodywork and vibrational practice. Together they hold the room — not as performers, but as guides in a shared return to stillness.
6:40 PM
Arrival
Doors open. Choose your nest on the floor and get settled.
7:00 PM
Root
Grounding, orientation, and a slow arrival into the body. Nothing strenuous.
7:20 PM
Breathe
Guided active breathwork over live sound — the longest and most physical portal.
7:55 PM
Feel
Sensation without narration. Gongs enter. You stay horizontal.
8:25 PM
Release
Sound bath at full depth: gongs, crystal bowls, handpan, voice.
8:45 PM
Land
Integration, silence, tea, and a soft re-entry into the street.
9:00 PM
Close
Room closes. Linger as long as you need.
Wear
Soft, warm layers you can lie down in for two hours. No belts or stiff waistbands. PJs welcome.
Eat
Light food two to three hours before. A full stomach makes active breathwork uncomfortable.
Arrive
Doors open twenty minutes before start. Arriving early gives you the pick of the room.
Late policy
Once the first portal begins the door closes to protect the room. Please arrive before start time.
Phones
Silenced and away for the full session. There is a basket at the door.

- How early should I get to Souk Studio?
- Doors open at 6:40 PM. Arriving right at doors gives you the best choice of spot in the room.
- Is there parking?
- Street parking is limited. Public transit or rideshare is strongly recommended for this venue.
- What should I bring?
- Yourself, comfortable layers, and a water bottle. Mats, bolsters, and blankets are provided, though you're welcome to bring your own blanket or pillow if that helps you rest.
- What actually happens in the room?
- Roughly two hours of guided breathwork, live sound (gongs, handpan, crystal bowls), and long stretches of stillness. You stay on the floor most of the evening. Nothing is performed at you and nothing is required of you.
- Do I need any experience?
- No. Most people in the room have never done breath or sound work before. Everything is guided step by step, and you can opt out of any portion at any time.
- Is the space accessible?
- Venues are selected for step-free access wherever possible, and chairs are available if lying on the floor doesn't work for your body. Email info@iamthestillpoint.com with any access need and we'll arrange it in advance.
- What's the refund policy?
- Tickets are transferable to another person up to 24 hours before the event. Refunds are available up to 7 days before the event date through Eventbrite.
