Across the world and down through time, individuals and communities have made sound as an expression of spirituality. The Great Mystery, however conceived, has been historically celebrated through musical forms that have nothing to do with entrainment and everything to do with engagement. Building on this long tradition, Gary Diggins will involve us in listening deeply and sounding intentionally through sonic rituals. No musical background is necessary as we will employ user-friendly instruments. We need only bring the energy of intention, the spirit of improvisation, and the gift of inspiration.
