Going In with The Juan Maclean and A Space for Sound at Reforestors Laboratory

147 Metropolitan Ave

all ages, 2p-5p
$60

Going In is a sub-label of The Bunker New York, dedicated to long-form musical compositions for expanded states, best experienced horizontally. This is music for engaged listening, for healing, meditation, psychedelic therapy, yoga, or simply spacing out and going inside yourself. Going In has presented two 48+ hour online streaming events and released 25 albums since its inception five years ago.

As the days shorten and the season turns inward, Going In returns to Reforesters Laboratory’s Sound Clinic for an afternoon of deep listening and sonic ritual. The Sound Clinic features a high-quality 24-point sound system with two giant subwoofers that go down to 30 Hz. The cozy room, covered in rugs, filled with plants, and tuned for calm, offers a space of rare intimacy and power. There’s truly nothing else like it.

This music is best experienced lying down. Please bring pads, mats, pillows, blankets, and eye masks to make yourself comfortable. Each guest will have about a yoga mat’s space on the floor, so please be mindful of others. We are limiting this to 20 guests so everyone can settle in comfortably. Lay down and be counted. There will be no talking, shoes, or phone use in the Sound Clinic during the performances. You may step out to the café anytime for food, drinks, phone use, and conversation.

For this edition of Going In, we welcome two artists whose work explores the meeting point between sound, spirit, and transformation.

A Space for Sound (Rena Anakwe) is an interdisciplinary artist, performer, and healer working with sound, scent, and visuals to create immersive, sensory-based experiences rooted in ritual and transformation. Based in Brooklyn by way of Nigeria and Canada, her recent projects include performances at Lincoln Center and sound design for Theatre for a New Audience. Under the moniker A Space for Sound, she has released Sound Bath Mixtape Vol. 1 (PTP) and Sometimes underwater (feels like home) (Commend THERE / RVNG Intl). Her live work continues to expand the possibilities of sound as a medium for healing and connection.

The Juan Maclean is a Hudson Valley–based DJ, producer, and ritual healer. Known for his expansive DJ sets and the ambient album Ritual Device on Going In, Maclean crafts meditative sound environments that invite inward motion. Built from vibrating drones, live gong, and flute, his work is meant for the deep seeker, for psychedelic sessioning, energetic cleansing, and the quiet journey within. In his own words: “It is not meant to be prescriptive, but to provide a platform that is open-ended and cosmic.” His live set at Reforesters will continue that lineage, transforming sound into a vessel for release and renewal.

We suggest familiarizing yourself with our values and code of conduct before attending the event:

Reforesters Laboratory is an experimental adaptogen café and sound clinic located in Williamsburg, Brooklyn. We utilize music, including spatial, sub-bass-centered, and organic instrumentation, along with breathwork, meditation, art, plant care, and adaptogenic, nutritional foods + beverages to cultivate kindness, both physical and spiritual. We aim to create an environment that offers peace, space, and clarity, helping people understand the connections between themselves, their communities, and the world around them.

The Sound Clinic is fully ADA compliant and wheelchair accessible, though the space is presently arranged for floor-level seating on supportive pillows to encourage a grounded, immersive experience. If you prefer or require a standard chair or back support, please let us know in advance or on arrival and we will happily provide one. Your comfort and access needs come first.
