Join us for this special All Ears Interfaith Sangha gathering! Participants gather to perform sound meditations and connect with one another, themselves, and with Spirit through creation and awareness of sound. We strive to cultivate a spiritual community of musicians—with the understanding that anyone can be a musician, regardless of training, background, and profession, if they choose to interact with sound in critical and creative ways.
This month, led by guest artist
Jennifer Wilsey, we remember and celebrate Pauline on the third anniversary of her re-birthday, playing two scores for orchestra, “Sound Fishes” and “Arctic Air” (for this occasion, entitled “Temescal Air”). You are invited to bring your instrument(s) to play, and/or participate with voice, and/or listen as audience members. Afterwards, we will gather for a community meal, with space for discussing the experience of listening, and connecting with fellow Sangha participants.
At All Ears, we hope to cultivate a spiritual community of musicians—with the understanding that anyone can be a musician, regardless of training, background, and profession, if they choose to interact with sound in critical and creative ways. Rather than attempting to create a space that is strictly neutral with respect to faith/nonfaith beliefs and traditions, we intend to celebrate any faith/secular traditions that are meaningful to participants, with an emphasis on healing, meditation, self-exploration and community-building. We strive to elevate traditions and voices that are marginalized in our unjust society, and do our best to challenge racism, sexism, heterosexism, classism and European secular/Christian cultural dominance, while acknowledging these as the context that surrounds our community and has shaped traditions and institutions of faith themselves, and believing that Spirit can transform us in spite of the presence of unjust forces.
