"Key to the new wellness frontier" Financial Times

"Swathed in blankets, I lie back and she plays...the sound is mesmerizing; the 90-minute session vanishes. ...I’m certainly moved and utterly blissed out.” Financial Times HTSI
To listen and to be truly heard is the most powerful gift we can offer ourselves and each other.
Founder and Classical Pianist Christina McMaster noticed that it wasn't only the rituals of classical music concert halls that led to a disconnected, stifled listening experience, but in fact in daily life, we are experiencing more disconnection than ever, leading to loneliness, anxiety, stress, sense of emptiness etc. Christina wants you - the listener to feel part of the creative process as active listeners and experience freedom, relaxation, peace and ultimately feel truly heard.
Lie down & Listen was inspired by downtown New York lying down concerts of the 1960’s and Christina's collaboration at Kings College London to test the wellbeing effects of a lying down classical music concert which evolved into Lie down and Listen, which many describe as a form of therapy and healing.
I've experienced many treatment modalities and this left me feeling more grounded than I've been in years. Deep meditation, blissful relaxation and brilliant musical technicality - Christina has produced something truly unique. A true frontier in healing.
