Description
Every year the festival offers a Sacred Room, where you can find calm, time for reflection and meditation or prayer.
This year the Black Box at Union Scene will be our Sacred Room. You are welcome to enter and experience music, chanting and meditations coordinated by Tal Coleman.
Read her vision and intention for the Sacred Room this year:
Imagine a space beyond time, beyond duality, beyond the beyond, where we can connect the source, our true nature, the eternal flame, the timeless, the “diamond in the lotus”, the divine within each and every one of us , a sacred place where we re- member , re-unite to one self as well as others. A place where we are one.
Imagine creating this space through a conscious intention, sharing music, art, poetry, meditation and silence….
People from any background, religion or age, who are longing for a meeting place in the “field beyond” are hearty welcome.

About Sound showers:
As a result of modern life many people feel stress dis-ease and unbalance, which can result in fatigue and illness.
- Instruments, such as Tibetan bowls, gongs, tuning forks and flutes have the means by which harmony is restored in the body on a psychological as well as a psycospiritual level. These are instruments that hold organic and acoustic tones derived from nature, rich with overtones. They resonate and entrain within the brain of the listener, prompting a profound state of relaxation and as well as a subconscious openness.
- Being “showered” by these instruments helps the body retrieve its original, healthy frequency, making the body entrain to the frequency of the instruments so that when it’s synchronized it can vibrate independently.
- Stimulated by the powerful vibrations of these instruments, the body is able to tune into its own undisturbed frequency.
-The listener, who is lying down comfortably experiences the pulse rate slowing down while the breath is restored to its normal rhythm. Thus one enters an expanded state of consciousness.
-Since the human body is over 70% water and sound travels 5 times more efficiently through water than through air, sound frequency stimulation, directed into the body, is a highly efficient means for a total body stimulation, especially on the cellular level.
-Researches show that these instruments help the listener go into to Alpha and Theta waves. Frequencies which enable deep relaxation as well as a heightened receptivity to healing.
-The participants will be sitting or lying down- enabling the sound and vibrations of the healing instruments to spread throughout the body, cleansing and harmonizing at a cellular level. Relaxing, rejuvenating and raising vibrations to a higher level of consciousness and state of being.
Instruments: Gongs, Tibetan bowls, bells and chimes, flutes, bird whistles, drums, kalimba, overtone singing, rattles and more.
