Living Meditation Project: An Ecstatic Listening Soundbath with Fahad Siadat and guest artist Molly Pease

This one hour event is one-part deep listening soundbath and one-part ecstatic meditation. This event is part of an on-going exploration of the intersection between creative and spiritual practices with composer/performer Fahad Siadat who will be joined by guest vocalist Molly Pease. During the event, the artists will employ musical tools including musical drones, rhythmic patterning, and free improvisation to induce a trance / transcendental space for listeners.

Attendees are invited to bring their voices and/or instruments and actively participate as players or just enjoy the sounds and bliss out.
