PAST EVENTS
AND SO WE DID!
We enjoyed
Frank Celenza playing acoustic originals on his guitar.
His music inspires us to recognize our true magnificence...his gentle Spirit is calming to be around, and his long experience as a musician and music Teacher are evident in his renderings. He connects deeply to each person as he shares the origins and influences of his compositions.
We brought our Hand Percussion Instruments and joined in!!

We decided to sit outside in the ambiance of Spring's breezes turning into Summer. Leslye recorded the session, and the inadequate lighting of my old home sent her in search of brightness. She is writing a book about the Blues on Long Island, and has done other documentaries.
We enjoyed Celtic Music with Dee Harris
(Dee is a diversified musician...He plays Ragas every Friday at an Indian Restaurant in Hicksville, NY:
and Mountain Ash
playing instrumentals and songs of Ireland, Scotland and England
Dee Harris - guitar, banjo and mandola
Bernie Stolls - hammered dulcimer
Susan Wood - fiddle
Jessie O'callahan- flute
the four members of Mountain Ash have created an exciting and beautiful sound - they have strong roots in celtic tradition while adding influences of American old time music and ancient medieval styles-
Saturday, June 12, 2010 from 7-9:30pm
(with one half-hour intermission)
We enjoyed a lovely Renaissance Concert with Rosemary Birardi and Robert Lepre
of St. Marks Consort on Saturday, March 13, 2010
You may remember that it was amidst the great and gusty rainstorm that tumbled so many trees right out of the earth. When Rosemary and Bob arrived and got all their equipment indoors, the lights went out. I began gathering candles, realizing I'd need the cotton and ghee candles I keep for puja/honoring of Life ~ after about half an hour the electric came back on and we were fortunate that it remained.
The phone rang, and I was told that two people had left when they found a huge pine tree across my front entrance! We'd heard nothing, but there he was...beautiful Blue Spruce...uprooted. Kokila and other guests turned back for home after finding several routes blocked with trees. Still, Bob and Rosemary played for a few of us...a joy and a privilege. They promise to return!

And so we graced the day and were Graced by Gaia and Spirit...
9~9~9
We met and strengthened ourselves, earth and All Life
on September, 9, 2009. This auspicious numerical day 9~9~9
is the number attributed to Jesus and is is the highest of numbers
in numerology. Throughout the world, people meditated
to bring light, healing and auspiciousness to Earth.
Two days afterward was the anniversary of a tragedy.
Let us bring new energy to the letting go of fear.
Let us change the way we view the NOW.
Lute and Recorder Concert
was wondrous and promises to happen again!
October 10, 2009, 7:30pm
The wonderful Lute played by accomplished Instrumentalist Christopher Morrongiello and the Alto and Soprano Recorders deftly brought to life by Kokila Jodi Bennett were enhanced by Christopher's teachings about the history of the music and instruments they played.
An unexpected plus was the genuine Chinese Green Tea brewed for us by Scarlet, Chris' wife. Read more and see photos here. A formal Tea Ceremony and more Music of the Renaissance...AND MORE is in the planning! Keep a watch!
