 Mindfulness and Singing (Friday Night Talk Only)
with Alexander deVaron
April 26 / 7:00 PM - April 26 / 9:00 PM
Mindfulness and Singing (Friday Night Talk Only)
Friday evening
Through mixing mindfulness and singing, we synchronize body, speech and mind, and reveal our innate human goodness. Recent research has proven what people have known for centuries: singing brings a myriad of benefits to anyone who sings at any level. Specifically, it rouses one’s energy and opens one’s heart. In addition, singing together is one of the oldest, most widely practiced, and most effective ways of building community.
This Friday evening talk will introduce these principles, and a daylong workshop on Mindfulness and Singing will follow. To register for the Friday talk only, follow the yellow registration button on this page.
