Consciousness, Creative Expression, and Physical Morphology

Sound and Spirituality: Exploring Traditions

As we continue exploring the role sound plays in our spirituality, the Spiritual Life Committee is offering two interfaith programs in March that focus on sound and its use in worship and prayer. Both programs follow Sanctuary worship and feature a light lunch. Everyone is welcome. No prior experience or musical ability is needed.

In our first program on Sun., March 4, Michael Dodin will share insights and research into the special nature of sound as it relates to consciousness, creative expression, and physical morphology. You also will have an opportunity to share in musical meditations/prayers using the Names of God in the vibrations of the original biblical languages.

Also, make plans to join us for our second program, Kirtan with Ashely O’Hara.
