~ Nature Meditation and Sacred Chant ~

Monthly Nature meditation and Sacred chant via Zoom

Wednesday March 20, 2024

7 - 8 pm EDT

The great Sufi master, Hazrat Inayat Khan, offered us a great wealth of beautiful nature meditations using the ebb and flow of breath to remind us of our integral part in the “Sacred Manuscript of Naure”.

Please join me for these healing breath meditation practices, silent sitting, and sacred chant. Together we’ll recognize, honor, and experience our inter-connection with all life, with the cycle of turning and returning seasons, and with the eternally present and ever-changing cosmos.

We’ll use these practices to blend our hearts, minds, and voices with our intention to foster peace, love, harmony and beauty within ourselves, with each other and in the world.

Dahlia with Ama'zjhi and Molly McCarthy Tweedy

I love this creative collaboration with Molly and Ama’zjhi. We think of our music together as whisperings of the heart, the hum of the divine coming through us.

When we make music together it is playful, deep, and easy.  We sing and explore—finding melodies, harmonies, rhythm and rhyme to share; weaving our voices, our caring and our wisdom.

Ama’zjhi is a powerful conduit of the feminine Divine. She channels her transmissions of embodied love with integrity and attentiveness. Her voice cries out for all of us to Come, to Be, to Love.

Molly puts her wild passion and playful joy into poetry and song that expresses our mutual longing for meaning and conscious action. Her haunting voice calls to the soulful core of our shared heart.

I find the harmonies that connect us and I hold the core that gives our music wings. These women inspire my creative desire to compose sacred song that draws us all more deeply into spiritual wonder and into communion with the Beloved One.

We are each of us, all of us, divine channels of Love, Light and Blessing— together we create the chalice that holds the sacred space for our ceremony.

We invite you to bring your unique voice and presence to this welcoming and empowering collaboration of Love, Grace and Song. 

We have no events planned at this time.


Weddings

Officiating the beautiful marriage of Manja Yirka and Jim Kirk

Together, let's craft an unforgettable ceremony for your union. 

Why not have your wedding ceremony be as individual as you are? I am an Inter-faith Minister, NY state certified to perform marriages. I absolutely love working with couples (is it really work?) to craft a beautiful and personally meaningful ceremony for your wedding.

We'll include relevant pieces of your story and background; bring in family, friends, and other loved ones as you wish; find poetry and song to weave with words and silence; incorporate traditional rituals or create new ones just for you.

The only—must—is when you both agree to the union, I must say, in some fashion, "I pronounce you Married". Everything else is up to you! It can be as simple or as elaborate as you desire. 

The first consultation is free!


Blessing Way

Chanting to my week-old granddaughter Elowyn.

Welcome a new life into the world, celebrate a birthday, anniversary, or honor any kind of life-transition using Sacred Song and/or Dances of Universal Peace.

Ritual is used to mark occasions, to celebrate, to honor. Ceremony helps us as humans mark and process change, which can be vastly important to our psyche. When a baby is born, is not a mother born as well?

I will help you pick from countless beautiful mantras, sutras and saluds—of different traditions and languages—to create a program that perfectly expresses the sentiment of your special occasion.  

I am highly experienced and deeply encouraging in leading group participation, even with people who claim that they don't know how to sing or dance.

Singing and Dancing together is an ancient form of community ritual. It promotes a sense of collective bonding and shared beauty. Call me to talk about your ideas. 845.863.4061
