Winter Reset: Aligning with Art
Event Details
Tickets & Info
Start the year off relaxed and realigned. This winter, join us for an evening of free holistic healing, including sound baths, astrology workshops, artwork meditation, live performances, and art-making. As the days grow longer, immerse yourself in creative wellness that will rejuvenate your creativity—or come to simply escape the winter chill.
Activities include:
Breathwork & Sound Baths with Mercy Ottley (5:30 & 7 pm): Two 60-minute breathwork and sound bath sessions in the Skyline Room. Bring a yoga mat or blanket and enjoy crystal bowls, gongs, and chimes. On-site registration only; opens at 5 pm.
Your Birth Chart as a Creative Map with Que’Nyse Fields (6 & 7:30 pm): Grounding astrology workshops explore creativity, play, and self-expression through your birth chart.
Flow State/Resonance with Vie Boheme (6, 7 & 8 pm): 40-minute vocal sound bath, dance performance, and guided yin yoga experiences.
Artwork Meditation: Spend 10 minutes or more with a single artwork from the Walker’s collection exhibition This Must Be the Place, using sand timers and educator recommendations in Gallery 4.
Due to high interest and limited supplies, this program is expected to hit capacity.
Gallery admission is free on Thursday nights, 5 to 9 pm. Admission tickets are available online or at the Main Lobby desk.

Vie Boheme is a Minneapolis-based multimodal artist whose work spans dance, music, performance, and writing. A Motown native shaped by creative roots in Pittsburgh and Minneapolis, she is known for integrating singing and dancing in unison, collapsing the boundary between sound and movement through a fusion of soul, funk, jazz, R&B, and pop. Her career includes performing, choreographing, and collaborating with artists and institutions such as Stokley Williams, Camille A. Brown & Dancers, TU Dance, the Guthrie Theater, and the Children’s Theatre as well as touring internationally through a US Embassy cultural exchange. Trained at Point Park University and the Ailey School, Boheme has also opened for international music acts and delivered a TEDxMinneapolis talk on the value of performing arts. She is also a yoga and wellness guide where her embodied practice extends into her CoreKinetics Yoga methodology.
Que’Nyse Fields is an astrologer, facilitator, and founder of SensualNoiree, where she offers astrology, tarot, and reflective practices rooted in emotional wellness and self-discovery. Her work centers on helping people reconnect with their intuition, voice, and creative power through grounded, compassionate, and culturally responsive approaches to spirituality and healing.
Mercy Ottley is a certified Breathwork Facilitator and Sound Healing Practitioner whose work centers on nervous system regulation, stress reduction, and emotional balance through conscious breathing and sound immersion. She has a background in sociology, social work, and geriatric care as a Certified Nursing Assistant, and her practice is deeply informed by trauma-aware, compassionate approaches to care. Drawing from her own journey of healing and reconnection, Ottley guides participants toward greater self-awareness, calm, and balance through accessible, mindful practices. She holds inclusive, welcoming spaces that honor each breath as a pathway back to self.
