10 Dec: GONGMEDITATION concert at the Van Houtenkerk in Weesp
with seats and berths
CONCERT December 10 SUSPENSED to MAY 6 and 7!
Inspired by the poem ''Come with me' from Rumi This year, we are giving a gong meditation concert.
Seated, the sound enters the body directly and carries you along. Lying down, it is more about merging into the space and what takes place in it that leads. Decide for yourself what appeals to you.
What can you expect from this concert?
The space fills with sound and silence. Through the harmonising sounds of singing, musical instruments, gongs and singing bowls, percussion and other (overtone) instruments, you can relax completely and attention moves beyond the story world of the mental, emotional and physical body. The usual thought resistances dissolve and you are back at home in the space of timeless silent being. Exactly where and how this works out for you will become apparent during the evening.
the Hymns to the Silence-ensemble:
- Gwen & Harry gongs and overtone instruments
- Siem Percusiem percussion
- Natalie Merfort soprano
- Wilma Thalen violin
- Mike Del Ferro piano
- Frans de Rond soundscapes
So you can choose either a berth or a seat. If you opt for a berth don't forget bring a mat, pillow and blanket so you can lay back and relax. There is also a disabled entrance in the church.
The church will open at 8pm and we will start at 8:30pm.
The concert will last about 1.5 hours. You will find the Van Houtenkerk at Oude Gracht 69 in Weesp.
