Sound Bites explores the powerful connection between what we hear and what we taste. Participants will experience a guided, resonance-based sound meditation paired with tantalizing amuse-bouche, bite-sized delights from the Institute for the Culinary Arts crafted to awaken the palate. This immersive experience blends science, art, and mindfulness, inviting you to amuse your senses and reconnect with your body. Discover how activating the parasympathetic nervous system enhances both digestion and overall nourishment, all through the interplay of music and flavor.

Arrive through the east doors to the Lobby of the Institute for the Culinary Arts (Building 22 of MCC's Fort Omaha Campus) 15 minutes before class starts. We will walk together to the building next door for the class.

For the most nourishing experience, we invite you to bring anything that helps you create a cozy nest for the event — yoga mat, blanket, pillow, bolster, or other comfort items. Whatever helps you feel grounded, supported, and able to fully relax into the experience.

Eye masks are encouraged for those who enjoy deeper rest and inward focus. If you have one, feel free to bring it along. First time? No worries — we’ll have loaner eye masks available.
