Sacred Sound Meditation with Alchemy Crystal Bowls

Into the Zen Garden
A Sound Journey to Stillness
with Zemirah

Fri., Aug. 14, 6:30 – 8:30 p.m.,
Vogt Auditorium, Love Offering

In the quiet spirit of the Japanese Zen garden, where raked sand mirrors the ripples of water and stones stand as timeless witnesses to Presence, we invite you into an evening of sound as sacred landscape. Through the resonant voices of gong, gemstone crystal bowls, and sacred toning, we will journey together into the stillness that lies beneath the surface of the mind, much as a garden’s beauty is found not in what is added, but in what is allowed to remain simple and undisturbed. Each wave of sound becomes an invitation to release, to settle, and to rest in the fertile emptiness that the Zen tradition  refers to as the pregnant pause between thoughts, where true insight arises. As the vibrations wash over you, you are invited to become both the garden and its gardener, tending your inner landscape with gentle awareness rather than effort.

Bring your pillow, blanket, and/or yoga mat, and come prepared to lie back, breathe deeply, and let the sound carve pathways of peace through the sand of your own quiet mind.
