Davin Youngs Wants to Immerse You in 'The Reset'
Kilian Melloy READ TIME: 8 MIN.
EDGE: How does this work in sound healing inform your relationships?
Davin Youngs: Well, I think that for anyone who has spent time doing the "work" with themselves, there's a wisdom and awareness that comes that is influential in how you're relating to other people. The biggest thing for me is, I feel a capacity to step into my authenticity through this work in a way that allows me to be in deeper connection with my relationships. There was a time in my life where I would feel more self-conscious about being weird or woo woo, but I've realized that the further I step into that, the deeper my relationships have become. Folks have faded away when that happens, but new relationships have also popped up. I think that it's just an extension of who I am, which makes me better in all relationships.
EDGE: I noticed in photos of your presentation of "The RESET" that people are lying on yoga mats, and they've got blankets and pillows.
Davin Youngs: They're meant to bring those things with them. There are different types of tickets: There are floor tickets, where you would come and lie down, and in that case you should bring whatever blankets, pillows, eye masks, or whatever would set you up for comfort on the floor.
Folks who are purchasing traditional seats, same thing. Dress comfortably. This is not a show that you need to look cute at; come with your sweats on and your cozies. Maybe bring an eye mask, if you want to. But really, whatever would set you up for comfort. I think that this is important in these spaces, that maybe people have felt like they had to dress a certain way or behave a certain way. It's a real privilege to be able to come in and just let it hang out and be you in that space, like a "Night at the Museum" sort of thing.
"The RESET" happens Saturday, January 25, at 12:00 noon and at 4:00 p.m. at The Huntington Theatre, 264 Huntington Ave., Boston, 02115. For tickets and more information, follow this link.
