Our Programs in Music & Spirituality

Dear Friends,

We are well on our way to offering the full programming in music and spirituality that we have envisioned. This is exciting for us as we work to build Halcyon Arts New England.

Coming in September, the weekend, residential workshop, From Fear to Joy: Discovering Your Inner Singer, is confirmed at Hallelujah Farm Retreat in Chesterfield New Hampshire. Nancy Salwen is a wonderful teacher who has a vast tool bag to help participants feel comfortable in exploring their vocal abilities even if they think they have none! This retreat is a lot of fun. Please join us. There are still places available.

Also in September, The Halcyon Institute for Spiritual Studies begins. For the Fall semester we offer the first module entitled The Two Streams of Western Spirituality. A new group exploring Sacred Texts from many of the world's spiritual traditions is also starting. These two programs are online.

An Introduction to Celtic Shamanism takes place in person October 15 - 17 with Jane Burns. This retreat, also at Hallelujah Farm, usually sells out, and we currently have nine more spots available!

Finally, we are overjoyed to announce that our live, in person concerts will be starting. As of today we have dates, but have not yet booked artists. Our first concert is planned for Saturday, October 23 at 7:30 pm. Our venue is the Unitarian Unversalist Society of Amherst, 121 N. Pleasant St. and we are planning 12 concerts each year. Please watch future emails for concert announcements.

In this issue of Sound & Spirit, you will find these upcoming programs and more. We hope you will join us for a retreat or a concert soon!

All the Best,
Beau
