Music: The Language of the Heart Where All Spiritual Traditions Meet with Claudio Naranjo, Lama Pema Tenzin, Valerie Dee Naranjo, and Silvia Nakkach
Jun 25 2011 - Jun 26 2011
The fusion of the voice with the drum, the rattle, and the bell can actually pierce the membrane that separates us from non-ordinary states of consciousness, and release us into a dimension permeated with magic and spirit. Embark on a trans-cultural journey with celebrated musical masters from all corners of the globe representing many traditions of sacred music: Claudio Naranjo addressing the hero's journey in Western classical music, Valerie Dee Naranjo demonstrating Native American healing chants and West African music, Lama Pema Tenzin chanting Tibetan Vajra ritual mantras, and Silvia Nakkach singing Indian ragas and Amazon healing songs. Through listening, call and response, and divine visualization, we will gather a repertoire of sacred music. Listen to music >>
