Sonic Stillness: A Music Meditation Study with Jeremy Bieber at The District House

Workshop: “Interactive Workshop: Music Meditation Study”

Facilitator: Jeremy Bieber, Musician & Consciousness Researcher

This week at The District House, we slowed way down. Some of us laid out on yoga mats, others sat quietly in chairs, and together we sank into a shared field of stillness.

Guided by musician and consciousness researcher Jeremy Bieber, the evening was part of a doctoral dissertation study exploring the effects of music on meditation. Volunteers were asked to have at least two years of meditation practice, and what unfolded was a beautiful, contemplative journey inward.

We began with a 15-minute silent meditation, eyes closed, attention inward. The stillness hung in the air like incense—soft, grounding, subtle. After a short break, we dropped into a second 15-minute meditation, this time accompanied by gentle, ambient music composed by Jeremy himself. The shift was palpable: breath deepened, emotions stirred, and subtle awareness bloomed.

Following the meditations, we were invited to reflect through written surveys and open discussion. What emerged was a chorus of insights—some about the contrast between silence and sound, others about the emotional textures that music brought to the inner landscape.

Afterwards, no one rushed out the door. We lingered, chatted, and shared experiences. It was more than a study—it was a space of genuine connection, collective presence, and sonic healing.

Stay tuned for more consciousness research, music experiments, and soul-soothing gatherings at District216.
