Inner Landscapes Journey / Sound Ceremony

SAMAVESHA [http://www.samavesha.org/] presentsINNER LANDSCAPES JOURNEY / SOUND CEREMONY WITH LAURA INSERRA AND JÉRÉMY MARAIS As part of the ROSE LABYRINTH SERIES [http://www.samavesha.org/productions/rose-labyrinth-series/] Inner Landscapes Journey is the development of Laura Inserra's work around the transmutational and evolutive power of music which invite and nurture personal transformation, healing, and self-awareness. These 'sound ceremonies' are a musical immersion into enchanted soundscapes and an invitation to listen with your whole body your inner visions, moods, feelings, thoughts, and states. In other words, is an inspiration to relax into your precious 'presence' through a form of sound meditation. We are pure vibration and everything vibrates around us which it means everything emanates sounds. Hearing is one of the first senses that activates when we come into life, and it is the last one to dissolve when we die. There is more to listening to than what we are aware of. Imagine only that we can hear up to 10 octaves compared to one octave of the color spectrum that the sight is able to perceive. With that in mind, our vision of life expands wilder than what only our eyes are able to receive. So much to say about that… These performances display a rich palette of global sounds using ancient and modern instruments which she infuses with a unique blend of harmonies and melodic lines on top of intricate rhythmic expressions. The room will be set up in a way that we can fully and comfortably immerse ourselves into the inner journey or dance the flow of the invisible… There will be available regular chairs, room to lay down in the wood floor, and an assigned area where where to dance. You are welcome to bring a mat, an eye mask, pillows, or blankets if you want to lay down and completely surrender to the experience.  DOORS OPEN 30 MINUTES PRIOR TO THE CONCERT AND WILL CLOSE AT 7:30PM SHARP. No one is allowed after that to enter the space. Please arrive not later than 15 minutes prior to the concert to allow yourself to land and set up your seat.  Online ticket sale ends at 1pm before the concert.
