Make music together while meditating!
We will get in a circle with our instruments by our sides, and have a 30-minute guided meditation. Then, without breaking our meditative state, we will pick up our instruments and do some mindful music-making activities. We will finish with an open improvisation where we can stay and play together as long as we want. The goal is to stay in a state of meditation during the whole music-making period, creating music from a space of presence, openness, and deep listening.
No music or meditation experience is necessary! If you don't play any instruments, we will have some simple percussion instruments you can play. The meditation will be beginner-friendly.
Vocals count as an instrument so come if you want to sing, as long as you're willing to improvise!
Please bring a musical instrument and/or meditation cushion if you have them. If not, we will have some for you.
I have some friends who will be coming for sure, so there will be more people there than are listed here on Meetup.
