Silent presence

During this meditative concert, you will be enveloped and carried by an intuitive sound composition of gongs, crystal and metal singing bowls, tube instruments and other overtone instruments. At the core of all that is, there is silence. A state of being that does not come and go. The sounds are not there to 'fix' or 'improve' anything, but to remind you of that silence that is always present.

Sound is a bridge between form and formlessness. 

Every sound rises from silence and returns to it. This reflects our true nature: the consciousness that precedes every experience,
thought and feeling. This sound journey is not about 'becoming', but about recognising. You don't have to achieve anything - the sounds invite you into immediately recognising what you already are; open, boundless and whole.

Sometimes it brings relaxation, sometimes emotions, sometimes silence - everything is welcome, because everything is an expression of the same One. When you do not intervene, do not try to give meaning, but simply listen, the separation fades. What remains is immediacy, unity, presence.
