An Embodied Encounter: Fusing Sound, Spirit, and Somatic Presence
Kansas City artist Carmen Aguilar and Te Deum join forces to present Meyadi Mass, a collaborative musical experience.
Conceived by Carmen, this sacred performance creates a space for reflection and connection, inviting the audience to explore the depths of human emotion— gratitude, grief, love, and longing. With Carmen’s visionary musical leadership and Te Deum’s exquisite choral artistry, Meyadi Mass offers an evening of profound musical and spiritual resonance with the aid of curated readings, short taize-like meditations, hot tea, embedded within a musical journey, all set within the historic beauty of St. Mary’s Episcopal Church.
This experience is designed to be an invitation to explore what’s right underneath the surface, with the guidance of music and meditation, to allow for curiosity and healing.
Tickets: $65
Each ticket includes:
- 20 minute instrumental soundscape before the service begins
- Taochemy Acupuncture (optional, during opening instrumental)
- Hot Tea
- “Meyadi Mass” — one hour of music intertwined with readings and short meditations

About Taochemy Acupuncture
The fusion of Te Deum and Meyadi Mass invites audiences into a sacred sonic landscape—but when paired with Taochemy Method Needling, the experience becomes deeply embodied and transformative.
This unique integration begins at the nervous system level: Taochemy Method Needling, applied gently to the top of the head and ears, activates parasympathetic regulation, releasing tension held in the fascia and shifting the body into a state of receptivity. As the needles encourage stillness and internal awareness, the nervous system calms—preparing the body not just to hear the music, but to feel it resonate throughout the entire being.
The ethereal layers of Te Deum and the immersive spiritual textures of Meyadi Mass take on new dimensions when the body is attuned through this method. Rather than a passive listening experience, this fusion creates a state of somatic presence—where the listener becomes an active vessel for the sound. One leaves not only having heard the music, but having embodied it—relaxed, regulated, and reset.
