Crossing Over - A Halloween Storytelling Journey in 3D Sound

On the evening of October 31st at 6pm The Dojo Upstate & Friends invite you to listen in on live stream, as the veil between worlds is momentarily lifted. Driven by immersive 3D soundscapes, this 60-minute storytelling journey will feature three different narrators and explore our relationship to the ultimate mystery of what lies beyond. Where might you be led to? The experience is best enjoyed utilizing personal headphones to fully experience the 3D effects, but can also be enjoyed using a quality sound system or speakers. Please be advised the subject of death will be a subtle theme and may not be suitable for all ages (PG-13).
