It’s Winter Solstice, when the sun is at its southernmost point in the sky. Whether you’re into a play on numbers or historical mystery, 12/21/12 is a special date, where it’s said to be the end of the Mayan calendar and the beginning of a new world. The Maya’s message is simple: ‘Our actions have created a world out of balance that must be rebalanced immediately in order for us to avoid more suffering…to humans and to all life.’ We are already seeing many changes. And this special day is a window to focus our energies, intentions, and prayers more fully and profoundly than ever before. As we explore the balance between motion and stillness in breath and body, Hannah + Liron, who have been collaborating for 7 years, will conduct the sound for this eve. Hannah Thiem on violin/electronic backdrops, (Copal, Nyxyss) is a soulful inspired artist stirring emotion and fluidity with Middle Eastern, Eastern European and Nordic flavors. She’s opened for The Rolling Stones, Bassnectar, Quixotic, and Shpongle and has been touring the yoga scene for some time. Liron Peled, on doumbek/Tuvan throat singing/sazytar, has worked with artists such as Balkan Beat Box and Omar Faruk Tekbilek. He is actively touring to inspire audiences by helping them reach altered states of consciousness naturally through music, combining sufi trance elements from the Middle East with Meditative Tuvan throat singing and the powerful and rich bass sound of dubstep and metal. This is a night to sweat your intentions, breathe your prayers, drop deep into body, and clarify direction.
