Join us for a meditative music experience in the Great Stone Circle at sunset. Ageless sounds of singing bowls blended with chant and song. It promises to be an evening of resonance and contemplative peace.
Traditional historic singing bowls produce sounds that invoke deep states of relaxation; naturally assisting one in entering expanded states of consciousness and meditation. The sound of the bowls creates a deep level of communication with our inner world that opens us to the divine. The sounds and vibrations of Tibetan singing bowls opens blockages and helps us experience an inner calm and deep relaxation to invigorate our natural energy thus allowing our body-mind-spirit to quiet and find balance.
Thomas Roberts will lead us for this evening of captivating renewal by calling forth the ageless bell sounds from the bowls. Karen Lee will sing or chant with the bowls. At times you may hear influences from the Native American cultures that are an integral part of her life experience and spirituality. Experience the power and beauty of traditional Tibetan singing bowls and the blending tones of Karen’s voice as we watch the sunset.
During this performance at Kinstone one can expect the unexpected … vocal spontaneity and improvisation from the heart, intertwined with the vibrational voices of the Singing Bowls. Prepare to be opened to deep relaxation and meditation in the presence of sacred sound. Come join Us!!

Karen Lee
Vocalist Karen Lee has been crooning for a lifetime. Originally a La Crosse native, Karen has returned home after spending 20 years in Portland and La Grande OR, and nearly a decade in NYC. Karen’s passion for singing has led her down various musical avenues. Her musical career began as folk singer/songwriter in the 70’s, which evolved into country rock, blues and swing, rhythm and blues, and later into jazz and improvisation. In her early musical adventures, Karen laid down many miles of life on the road. Embracing cultural diversity and life’s experiences enhanced Karen’s musical expression as a vocal soloist. And she has been a frequent band member who has often arranged and sang intricate harmonies. All of her travels gave rise to live performances, recordings and many other musical opportunities. Karen’s vocal sound continues to evolve. Her voice has been described as that of a rich and sultry ballad and blues singer that can belt out a strong as sassy R&B tune yet is able to sing the intimate style of a bossa nova.
