Sound Bath Meditation with Marc Anderson
Next Sound Bath: Saturday, March 29th at 7pm

Humans have used sound to soothe the body and heart, to gather joyously in community, and to transport themselves into deep states of contemplation for thousands of years. In that tradition, join musician and Zen priest Marc Anderson as he artfully shapes the tones and timbres of gongs, singing bowls, ancient drums, and spoken poetic images into a meditative soundscape. Come and experience for yourself an effortless journey into blissful relaxation.

About the Event

Kirtan is the sacred tradition of call-and-response chanting, brought to us from India. Kirtan is one of the principal activities of Bhakti Yoga (the path of devotion). The chants come from the Hindu tradition, but people of all faiths and cultural backgrounds participate in kirtan - it is in essnce a meditation, repeating the names of God, turning inward towards ourselves.

We experience the energy and vibrations of communal singing, connecting to the Divine and each other, opening our hearts and quieting our minds. Everyone participating contributes to the experience, emenating loving energy to the universe.
