iMUSE for Wellbeing is back!

27 January 2025

Now we’re settled into our new base in Clifton, we’re very pleased to be launching new iMUSE for Wellbeing sessions. 

When will iMUSE be happening? 

When: Thursdays, between 9:30am – 1pm, then 4pm - 6pm 

Where: in our new iMUSE room within the Clifton Explore Library, Rawcliffe Drive, York, YO30 6NS.  

Cost: Each 30-minute session will cost £10, with subsidies available.

If, for whatever reason, you’re unable to afford this, please don’t hesitate in getting in touch:  imuse@aamedia.org.uk and we’ll discuss what works for you.   

We're thrilled to be part of the thriving community hub at Clifton Explore Library, where there’s always something going on.   

There’s a café where you can chill with a cuppa either before or after your session. How about checking out your next favourite book in their library while you wait?  

What is iMUSE? 

iMUSE provides a space where you can relax, forget the outside world and reduce stress and anxiety. iMUSE uses interactive technology to help you: 

  • Relax – a vibrating mattress gently massages the body. Combined with deep breathing and other relaxation techniques, this calms and focuses the mind, relaxes muscle tone and reduces anxiety and stress. 

  • Make music – you don’t have to have any previous musical experience to compose your own music with iMUSE. Motion sensors detect your movements and turn them into sounds that can relax and you’re your mood. Or you can just listen to some of your favourite music. 

  • Create visuals – a microphone picks up sounds and iMUSE transforms them into calming visuals and projects them into the iMUSE space. 

Our facilitator works with you to find out which sounds, music and visuals help you to relax and focus. They then use these to personalise your iMUSE experience so it’s tailor-made for you. 

Who benefits from iMUSE? 

  • Anyone who responds to and enjoys music and sound. 

  • Anyone looking for a creative, interactive or therapeutic activity that enhances wellbeing. 

  • People who experience anxiety, stress, discomfort and pain.
