Wear something comfy
Soft layers, socks you like, nothing that needs fussing with. You will be seated and still for a while, in chairs that partially recline, so choose clothes that forget they are on you.
Prepare
Come as You Are. Comfort Is the Dress Code.
The planetarium is a seated experience in comfortable, partially reclining seats. Pack as if you might drift off under the stars — because that would be doing it right.
Blanket & pillow
Optional, and lovely. A familiar blanket turns a reclining seat into a nest. A small pillow helps necks that are used to looking at phones, not galaxies.
Water bottle
Also optional. Sip before we begin. The session itself is a dry, quiet stretch of sky — better not to be rustling a bottle mid-breath.
Phones down
Silent, or better, away. This is one of the few rooms left where the ceiling is more interesting than a lock screen. Let it be.
A few gentle practicalities
- Arrive a little early so you can find your seat without hurrying. This is a seated experience — comfortable chairs that partially recline, not mats on the floor.
- The group is kept small, so there is no need to stake out a row — there will be room.
- If you are sensitive to dark rooms, know that the dome is dim, not a jump-scare. The sky arrives slowly.
- You do not need any meditation experience. If you can sit back, breathe, and let Nina A Spencer guide you, you are qualified.
