Join us for the final Saturday Salon in our current home before idiomARTE’s upcoming move.

This edition features exhibiting artist Daniel Williams, who will lead a bilingual conversation and live drawing demonstration inspired by themes explored in his current exhibition, Antagonista.

Together we’ll explore drawing as a creative practice, a tool for observation and reflection, and a way of engaging with memory, symbolism, and personal experience. The salon will conclude with a live demonstration of Daniel’s process, followed by an opportunity for questions and conversation.

Saturday, June 20

Gong Puja • Inti Raymi in Cuenca
An extended Sound Healing experience (4 hours) at Sama Shala

During this time of the year, nature also transforms.
Inti Raymi, ancestrally celebrated in the Andes, marks the return of the sun and the beginning of a new cycle — a moment to give thanks, release what has already fulfilled its purpose, and open ourselves to a new stage with greater clarity and presence.

For this reason, we have created a profound 4-hour immersive sound experience and inner connection journey.

We will begin the evening with the creation and personalization of a soy candle, a symbolic space to set intentions, presence, and light for this new cycle.
Afterwards, we will experience a Gong Puja — an extended Sound Healing session where the vibrations of the gongs and other therapeutic instruments will guide us through a journey of deep rest, emotional release, and reconnection.

An invitation to:
• Release tension and accumulated stress
• Calm the mind and nervous system
• Reconnect with yourself
• Gift yourself a deep and conscious pause

No previous experience needed
Includes organic soy candle personalization
Duration: 4 hours of deep immersion
