An intentional pause for your body, your mind, and everything you’ve been holding. A space to slow down and come back to yourself. This crystal bowl sound bath is a space to step out of the constant noise of life and into something quieter, steadier, and more supportive. Through the use of crystal singing bowls, you’ll be guided into a deeply relaxed state where your nervous system can soften, your mind can settle, and your body can finally exhale. This experience is for anyone who feels like they’re always on. The ones carrying full schedules, busy minds, and the weight of daily life without much space to pause. You’ll be invited to get comfortable, turn your phone on silent, and give yourself a moment that isn’t about doing, fixing, or figuring anything out. Just being. As the sound moves through the space, it works gently with your body and energy, helping you reconnect with yourself in a way that feels natural and unforced. You’ll leave feeling lighter, more grounded, clear, and present in yourself. No experience needed. Just come as you are and allow yourself to receive. Ticket Options Guests can choose between two experience options when purchasing their ticket. Both offer the same sound bath experience, with your choice of how you’d like to receive it: Silk Cocoon Experience – $20 Settle into an aerial silk and allow yourself to be gently held as you receive the sound bath. This option offers a unique, cocoon-like experience that enhances relaxation and support. Grounded Rest Experience – $20 Lie comfortably on a mat and receive the sound bath in a grounded, spacious setting. A simple, supportive option for full-body relaxation. Please note: There are only 5 Silk Cocoon spots available. If this experience calls to you, we recommend securing your spot early.

Presented in partnership with the National Gallery of Canada through their National Engagement initiative. The National Gallery of Canada’s National Engagement initiative is generously supported by Michael Nesbitt, with additional funding from the National Gallery of Canada Foundation. Elaine Cameron-Weir’s practice explores the systems humans use to navigate the unknown, including science, religion, governance, and creative fields. Her sculptures transform objects from scientific, medical, military, and spiritual contexts into reliquary-like forms that symbolize broader belief systems and power structures. By combining found materials with handcrafted ones—such as enamel, glass, metal, and leather—her installations often appear suspended, balanced by cables and architectural frameworks. These works incorporate transient elements such as heat, light, and scent, hinting at transformation and decay, while symmetrical shapes highlight dualities in perception and storytelling. Though open to multiple interpretations, her works suggest thresholds or portals between states of being. Born in Red Deer, Alberta, in 1985, Cameron-Weir lives and works in New York. Recent solo exhibitions include Dressing for Windows (Exploded View) at SCAD Museum of Art (2022) and STAR CLUB REDEMPTION BOOTH at the Henry Art Gallery (2021). Her work has been featured in major group exhibitions including The Milk of Dreams at the 59th Venice Biennale (2022) and New Time: Art and Feminisms in the 21st Century at BAMPFA (2021). Visitors will be responsible for finding their own transportation to RDMAG. Image credit: Installation view Bookends, Illingworth Kerr Gallery, AUArts, 2026. Photo courtesy of Katy Whitt.

Reel Movie Mondays is our independent film series that screens as part of TIFF Film Circuit, screening on select Monday evenings (6:30 pm) at the Red Deer Polytechnic Arts Centre Main Stage. 🎞️ H is for Hawk – November 9 | 6:30pm Philippa Lowthorpe United Kingdom, Singapore, United States| 2025 | 119m | English | Clique Films | PG Based on the critically acclaimed memoir, H Is for Hawk is a meditative and emotionally resonant film that traces one woman’s passage through grief and renewal. Following the sudden death of her father, respected academic Helen (Claire Foy, The Lady in the Van ) withdraws from the familiar rhythms of life and turns instead to the ancient, exacting art of falconry. As she attempts to train a fierce and untamed goshawk, the film unfolds as a quiet dialogue between human vulnerability and the natural world’s indifference and beauty. Patient, immersive, and richly observed, H Is for Hawk reflects on loss, solitude, and the discipline required to live alongside pain without being consumed by it. The result is a contemplative cinematic experience that invites audiences into a space of reflection, stillness, and hard-won grace. It premiered at the Toronto International Film Festival, and the hawk costars are all actual hawks with no CGI used. 🎥 More information here | Trailer Register to book your spot here! ➡️ Cost: $15/non-member | $10/member | $5/student
