Entry No. 47 — the Minneapolis file — filed under: sound bath
enterSTELLAR
Tucked inside Studio 121 of the historic 1887 Casket Arts Building, enterSTELLAR offers immersive sound baths that blend live acoustic frequencies, guided meditation, and light projections. The cozy space features padded floor spots, anti-gravity chaises, and suspended yoga hammocks.
The story
There is something subtly subversive about stepping into an 1887 casket factory to quiet your nervous system. Studio 121 inside Northeast Minneapolis's Casket Arts Building was once part of a heavy industrial complex where workers constructed wooden coffins for 19th-century Midwesterners. Today, collaborators including projection artist Josh Sundby and sound facilitator Shelly Mosman have turned the brick-and-timber space into enterSTELLAR, a dark sanctuary built around sensory immersion.
Instead of a standard floor-and-mat meditation class, enterSTELLAR treats sound baths as a full-spectrum environment. Sundby crafts custom, abstract light projections that float across the walls and ceiling while live crystal singing bowl vibrations rumble through the floorboards. The experience relies on principles of cymatics and acoustic entrainment—using targeted sound frequencies to coax your brainwaves down into a slow, meditative rhythm while visual patterns move in tandem with the tone.
What it's like
Finding your way through the industrial hallways of the Casket Arts Building at dusk sets the tone before you even cross the threshold of Studio 121. Once inside, you choose your rig: padded floor mats, reclining anti-gravity chaises, or suspended aerial yoga hammocks where you hang completely off the floor. Session doors typically open around 7:00 PM, and you will want to get settled early to shed your shoes, pick your spot, and get comfortable before the room goes dark and the frequencies take over.
The move: Book a session to lie down side-by-side in suspended yoga hammocks, letting the live sound waves of crystal singing bowls and abstract visual projections wash over you inside a repurposed 19th-century casket factory.
