After Rest is an intimate musical experience that invites the audience to slow down, rest, and dream. The show features a candlelit set of original piano music framed by guided reflection before and after the performance. Guests are encouraged to experience the music in whatever way feels most supportive, either lying down or seated comfortably. At the heart of the event are two questions: what is a restful space, and what becomes possible when we allow ourselves to rest?

A limited number of floor mats will be provided, along with chairs. Guests are welcome to bring their own mats, blankets, pillows, or other comfort items to create a personal resting space.

After Rest builds on Lauren’s 2025 show Felt Piano Dreams:

“Hosting Felt Piano Dreams at The Medium was unforgettable. Lauren brings such intention and heart into her work, and the room was transformed by her performance. The talk-back afterward was especially meaningful, the audience was deeply engaged, asking thoughtful questions and leaning into the experience together. People left feeling lighter, grounded, and genuinely moved.”
