Very Well is Baltimore’s premier wellness center, and we believe artists are essential to the wellness of our community and culture. In these tumultuous times, we look to artists of all sorts to hold a mirror up to where we are… to provide us with joy, truth, beauty, deep thoughts, entertainment, escape, connection… and to help shepherd us toward a brighter tomorrow.

In short, artists are our inspiration. But where does their inspiration come from?

Inspiration doesn’t appear on command. It doesn’t thrive in stress, overwhelm, burnout, or the bad news we see in the daily headlines. Even the most gifted artists need space to restore, reflect, and reconnect with what moves them; to overcome creative blocks and get back into flow.

That’s why we created Inspiration Sessions—a FREE offering for Baltimore-based artists to calm their minds, summon their focus, and return to their creative source.

Each 90-minute session begins with a Modern Sound Bath session, a technology-powered experience that uses immersive sound and full-body vibration to help shift mental states, quiet inner noise, and create conditions for clarity and flow. After the session, artists are invited to remain in the room—equipped with a desk, armchair, whiteboard, creative prompts, and other inspirational materials—to write, draw, think, dream, or simply be.

There’s no catch. No expectation. Just time, space, and care—for the people who so often offer those very things to the rest of us.

Baltimore artists of all kinds are invited: visual artists, musicians, writers, filmmakers, fashion designers, performers, photographers, and others. Whether you’re just beginning or are world famous. We aren’t going to gatekeep who is an artist. If you consider yourself one, and if you have something you’re burning to put out into the world, then come on down.

We’ll be offering these sessions through June 2025. (To test our scheduling system, we are currently offering one session per day, but that may expand as they start to fill.)

How to schedule, and what you need to know:

View a list of the vibroacoustic program offerings here. The “focus” themed ones may be the most conducive for creative work, but feel free to pick out whatever you you’re interested in. (Note that these are organized first by LENGTH, then by THEME—so each theme will appear multiple times on the list. You may pick any one you like, but keep in mind that your Inspiration Session is 90 minutes total, including both vibroacoustic session and working time.)

Go to our scheduling page and scroll all the way down to “Inspiration Sessions.”

Find the time you want, enter your information, and make sure you receive an emailed confirmation.

Bring your preference of program with you so you can let us know when you arrive!

TERMS OF USE:

1. One booking per person. Local artists get their FIRST Inspiration Session free. If they’d like to repeat the experience they may book a Modern Sound Bath “The Deep Dive” session at the normal cost.

2. Your session is 90 minutes TOTAL, including both the vibroacoustic program and the work time, so pick your program with care.

3. If you book a session in advance and can’t make it, please let us know by 24 hours in advance so we can offer the time to someone else. If you let us know by this time, you can reschedule your appointment for free. If not, you will lose the free session.

4. You are welcome to bring your laptop, journal, sketch book, or any supplies and materials you think you might need to get the most benefit from your Inspiration Session. HOWEVER, please don’t bring anything that might leave a mess for the next person: no paints, glues, etc. And if you are working on anything that might create a sound, please keep in mind that our walls are thin and other health and wellness treatments are going on nearby, so please use headphones if possible. If you are creating a mess or disturbance, your session will be interrupted, and you will be asked to stop.

5. Your session may be canceled before it starts or terminated in progress for any reason. If this is not for cause, we will do our best to reschedule you for your free session in the near future.

6. Any Baltimore-area artist, of any discipline, may sign up for this free session. This may take considerable resources on our end to keep going. If possible, we ask that you use any of your social and/or artistic platforms to help support Very Well and our paid work so we can continue to offer this and future benefits to the community!
