In the Indian culture, Dhyana is a familiar term used within the practice of Yoga. Everything is in motion (the sun and planets, our hearts, the trees…everything.) and everything has an essential rhythm, which is known as “Taal.” The Taal connects the body of the instrument (and the human) to the Divine and creates a moment of yoga (union).
Please join musicians Alan Simon and special guests for an evening of inspiration and spiritual music. Throughout the evening, Alan will entertain with his remarkable musicianship, as well as enrich our hearts and minds by explaining the connections between his carefully curated selections and the wisdom of the saints.
