Event Title: “Karen Drucker Sacred Stillness Through Music”
Wednesday, June 28, from 7 to 8:30 pm in the Sanctuary.
We will sing, chant, meditate, listen to short readings, and pray together as we allow our hearts to open and connect with others in our community. This is a free event open to everyone. Love offerings are gratefully accepted.
“Music has the ability to bypass the mind and sink into the heart.“
A musical “concert” that I offer is an audience-participatory event where we sing, chant, meditate, and pray together. This is sometimes referred to as a “Taize Service.” This is a sacred, meditative, musical event where we create a holy space by spending time chanting (singing repetitive and affirmative words over and over), being in silence, listening to short sacred, inspirational readings, stating our prayers or intentions, and just allowing ourselves to “be.” The stage or room is usually surrounded by candles, and the participants walk into the room in silence, feeling the sacred tone that has already been set, and leave at the end in silence.
These concerts usually have four separate themes that we weave together. We sing, speak, and meditate on the themes of stillness, health, love, prayer, faith, gratitude, or anything that may be up for healing. This musical event is usually about 60 to 90 minutes.
