The Sacred Sounds of Healing series is made possible with the generous support of Chandrika Tandon.
The Yuval Ron Ensemble, featuring Sufi Master musician Khawaja Ehrari, unites the sacred musical traditions of Sufism and Judaism into an unusual musical mystical celebration. A marriage of tradition and innovation. This exhilarating musical journey is full of joy, hope, and deep spirituality, celebrating the underlying unity shared by all people, regardless of nationality, race, religion, and culture. With the addition of the whirling dervish, this program is a feast for the senses!
There will be an afternoon workshop preceding the concert performance in the evening: "Sufi and Hebrew Sacred Sound Practices to Cultivate Resilience and Inner Peace":
Join us for an experiential workshop with the Yuval Ron Ensemble, exploring the sacred sounds and mindfulness practices from the wisdom traditions of Sufism and Kabbalah. These practices require no musical training or experience, and may lead to inner peace, well-being, reduced anxiety, and stress relief. Based on his work with neuroscientists, doctors, and healers, Yuval Ron will lead us through simple sound meditations that have been shown to impact the structure and function of the brain in ways that enhance memory, cognition, and awareness, and can also promote healing by lowering depression and anger.
The Sacred Sounds of Healing series highlights artists, cross-cultural collaborations, and interactive ancillary events that celebrate and promote the transformative power of music and sounds from diverse spiritual and ethnic traditions. This initiative aims to heal and foster peace, joy, and unity through the universal language of music.
