What better way to unwind than a mass meditation with over a thousand other peoplefrom across the country?

The Big Quiet, an organization that brings meditation to the masses, is hosting a mass meditation and sound experience event in New York City on March 19 that sounds as relaxing as it does awesome; but dont book your plane tickets just yet. While the real-life event takes place at the One World Observatory atop One World Trade Center, the tallest building in the Western Hemisphere the Historic Third Wards Kimpton Journeyman Hotel brings the event local on the hotels rooftop Sunday evening.

The meditation trend is no foreign concept inMilwaukee. Recently,West Milwaukee Intermediate School implemented Mindful Mondays and now frequently begins classeswith a mindful minute. At local non-profit Growing Minds, instructors guide their young students through sun salutations after they sing in unison about their chakras.More and more wellness studios are popping up around the city than ever before.

Milwaukee is one of seven North American locations to host The Big Quiet via livestream. The night begins with a community-led meditation followed by a live streaming of the NYC event around 9 p.m. Later in the evening, enjoy a reception featuring music by local string musicians and locally-made tea provided by Urbal Tea.

Third Ward athleisure boutique Kit and Ace (which also has NYC locations) is collaborating with The Big Quiet to make the event possible. The brand, an offshoot of Lululemon Athletica, is a natural fit for the mass-meditation event; their online magazine The Antefeatures stories such as How to Use Mindfulness to Break Your Bad Habits and How to Meditate Anywhere.

The group meditation at the Kimpton Journeyman Hotel is free and open to the public, but attendees must make reservations through Eventbrite.
