Weekly Wellness Saturday: Affirmations & Sound Healing with Ashley Murdock (1pm)

Join us in Encinitas for even more ways to interact with contemporary art! Weekly Wellness Saturdays at ICA San Diego / North expands on our 2025-2026 exhibition season theme, On Healing. The exhibitions are part of a year-long exploration of the ways artists address the various socio-cultural wounds revealed by the COVID-19 pandemic. Similarly, the associated programs and events seek to explore how art can serve as a vital tool for mental, physical, emotional, and community wellbeing.

Weekly Wellness Saturdays will take place most Saturdays throughout the year during ICA San Diego’s open hours (Noon – 5pm), and includes:

• 1–2 PM: A rotating healing session hosted by a local facilitator*
• 2:15–3:15 PM: A complimentary tour of the current exhibition in its Lower and Upper Pavilions, the outdoor garden, and Sculpture Trail
• 12–5 PM: An all ages art-making activity related to this year’s On Healing season
• 12–5 PM: Complimentary admission to ICA / North’s exhibitions

Admission to Weekly Wellness Saturdays at ICA / North is free, and a donation will be suggested for healing activities, and made directly to the facilitator.

November 1:

• 1:00PM: Affirmations & Sound Healing with Ashley Murdock — Join us in the garden for an empowering combination of positive self-talk and sound healing. We’ll start by creating personal affirmations – positive statements that shift how you feel about yourself and reinforce your inner strength. Through guided meditation, you’ll practice and embed these affirmations, turning them into powerful tools for daily use. After building your affirmation practice, you’ll relax in the garden as crystal singing bowls, chimes, and rainstick create healing vibrations around you.

ICA San Diego / North in Encinitas is open Saturdays & Sundays, Noon – 5pm.
