An evening of meditation and music with
Philip Clouts & Alexander Massey

Join us for a unique experience within the ancient mystical tradition of the Kabbalah-a meditation to harmonise the energies of the body and soul, and a performance which expresses universal energies in sound, facilitating a deeper and more expanded state of consciousness.

In the Kabbalah the ten spheres, or sephirot, within the tree of life are emanations of God, and also correspond to energy centres within the body.

Through deep introspection and intense research we have developed a sounding of the sephirot with some improvised and some specially composed music. We have integrated elements of the Jewish musical tradition with inspirations from Indian devotional music and personal soundings in the landscape to arrive at an authentic tonality using voice and piano.

Sounding the Kabbalah is informed by many years of study of Jewish mysticism, and was recently presented at the Portland Festival of Devotional Music.
