"Behind every sound and light there is an infinite space of silence and that is who we are." On July 12th we invite you for a very special concert and collaboration between Shai Dayan and Avadhootika Vistar who are joining us after sitting with their common teacher in the Himalayas for 25 years. Each person at this concert is bringing with them powerful wisdom and ancient knowledge of self, breath and mantra. ** This event is a pre-event to a workshop we will do with Shai Dayan on August 4th in Lisbon ** -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- Voice Being with Shai Dayan "Self inquiry through the medium of voice and music is extremely useful. it can serve us as a key which opens a door to our true nature as peaceful freedom. It can take us so deep until there will be no more use for a key because there are no doors anywhere, only one vast space of presence." Shai Dayan The Voice Being experience is both deep and joyful as it leads us to meet our true nature and makes us ask essential questions about it. Through this experience we can discover the simplicity of silence as pure presence, joy and childlike playfulness. This can be useful for anybody interested in deepening awareness of his or her voice, body, mind and spirit . www.voicebeing.net Facebook Voice Being Meditation and Chanting with Avadhootika Vistar With the powerful tools of self-inquiry, meditation and chanting we can begin to explore the underlying state of oneness, the source of no "other.” The teachings of Advaita Vedanta, non-dualism guide us to attend and be absorbed in the field of the unchanging. However, it is imperative that we engage in a direct experience of the unchanging, without which this pursuit is futile. Now the question needs to be addressed; how do we attain this freedom from duality? How do we initiate a journey of self-discovery? Meditation and chanting are powerful tools that unfold a continuous source of inspiration and revelatory awareness. The state of reflection and absorption that evolves in mediation, the concentrated immersion and expression of sound, tuning into the source of sound and the ensuing transcendence are a consistent reminder of what is our indestructible reality and joy. Mediation and chanting allow us one a continual revisiting of that unique, transcendent experience. A path of self-reflection of our true nature, the nature of freedom itself. -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- Entrance 20 euros Schedule 7.30pm: Arrival 8.00pm: Doors close and concert begins (**Doors can not be opened for anyone after 8pm) To attend please send us an e-mail to confirm your place for attendance primalcreaturebeings@gmail.com. ** This event is a pre-event to a workshop we will do with Shai Dayan on August 4th.
