At Kinstone we take time to recognize the passing of the seasons with intentional events that remind us to honor our home in this part of the Universe. Summer begins with the Summer Solstice. We will gather at this time of Midsummer to say farewell to Spring with a mystical, magical, musical send-off amidst the great circle of standing stones at Kinstone.
Experience the incredible, transformational sounds of Peter Phippen (bamboo flutes), Rahbi Crawford (singing bowls), Victoria Shoemaker (wooden and crystal flutes) and Brian Reidinger (percussion / drums) in this magical venue. They are master musicians who improvise and collaborate with great effect. Their blending of the sounds of flutes, crystal singing bowls and percussion will get right into your heart and soul.
Come along on this sound journey as we sit amidst the standing stones of the Great Stone Circle. As always, the musicians will join the breezes and the host of singing creatures living in and around the fields, forests and waters of Kinstone. Come experience the magic.
