The great wheel of time keeps turning. Autumn Equinox is coming around again and it is time to make sacred music in keeping with the seasons once more. You are invited to this special concert to recognize and observe the return of the Autumn Equinox at Kinstone! We host seasonal intentional events that remind us to honor our home, the Earth and to connect with the sun, moon and stars in our larger, universal home. Join us as we welcome Autumn with enchanting music and sacred sound!
Experience an incredible soundscape created by world-class musicians Peter Phippen and Rahbi Crawford. Crawford is a force of flowing energy as she evokes ethereal sounds from crystal and metal singing bowls, a gong, and her hauntingly beautiful voice. Phippen elicits sacred music from ancient and modern flutes (wooden, bamboo and stone). These master musicians improvise and collaborate with great effect. The blending of flutes and crystal singing bowls goes straight to the hearts and uplifts our souls. Special guests Victoria Shoemaker (wooden and crystal flutes) and Brian Reidinger (hand drums/percussion) will also perform.
These four world class musicians will take us on a sound journey as we sit amidst the standing stones of Kinstone 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. Sacred sound indeed.
This concert will begin at 5:30pm and go until 7:00pm – just prior to sunset. All present may stay to watch the sunset and, if the sun is strongly visible on the horizon, we may all witness the Equinox Sunset Alignment at Kinstone. We hope for fair weather and clear skies!
