It's a simple idea: gather people together and sing a continuous OM as
a meditation for peace. On Easter Sunday April 20th, 2014 at 6:00 PM EDT,
people, all over the world, who want to give expression to their wish
for peace will gather in groups to join in the sound of many voices
singing as one in an extended OM.
Each person, as a meditation on peace, sings their own note at their
own rate guided by their breath. Within the group this builds an
exquisitely beautiful, rising and falling, subtly changing, continuos
chord. Many voices resonating together in one sound.
How to do this? Set a place to gather; yoga studio, mediation center,
dance studio, theater, or living room. Spread the word and invite as
many people as you can. Begin at 6:00 PM, Eastern Daylight
Time, and
sing OM as long as the sound wants to go on, hopefully for at least an
hour. Even if you can't get together with other people sing on your
own knowing that people in other places are singing with you.
People of all faiths and beliefs are welcome. No musical experience
is necessary only the willingness to add your voice for peace to the
sound of OM.
This is our 12th year! Last year I heard from people all over
the
country who had participated. Please forward this to anyone who might
be interested or your mailing list. And PLEASE let us know how it goes.
Here in Woodstock we will be coming together at
Mountain View Studio
off of Rock City Road.
