Ocean of Devotion Sound Journey
Preston Klik’s Ocean of Devotion Sound Journey is a gentle but at times cathartic experience. Preston plays a 36-inch OCEAN GONG, plus Native flute, crystal bowls, and other exotic world instruments. Kick back, relax, and let your imagination go! What’s possible: insights, releases, rejuvenation, and healing. This richly cinematic 90-minute musical odyssey-meditation is as beautiful to the eye as it is to the ear, heart, body, mind, and spirit. Join us for a deep dive into the ocean of love.

ABOUT RIA BRIDGES
Born with Jamaican roots in Fort Lauderdale, Florida, Bria Bridges is a Chicago-based multimedia artist specializing in painting, video editing, graphic design, and photography.
Her paintings portrays the Black experience through a surrealist lens, blending early 20th-century art movements with modern influences like abstract and neo-expressionism.
By bending reality, Bria creates a bright, fantasized version of the world where ethnic features are celebrated.
Her use of vibrant colors and exaggerated forms offers a playful energy while inviting introspection.
Her artist name, Subconshis, reflects her process of creating on auto-pilot, bringing hidden thoughts to light.
