SETTLE INTO STILLNESS
The Settle into Stillness Ensemble is a collective of artists that unites the healing power of conscious relaxation with sacred sound. The group was formed as an expansion of the work that Settle Into Stillness has been doing as a duo for over 13 years now.
The Settle Into Stillness Ensemble stands apart from the ever-growing landscape of mindfulness-based musical offerings. By seamlessly weaving together diverse world music instrumentation, such as the mesmerizing handpan, the enchanting didgeridoo, the angelic beauty of the harp, the gentle resonance of gongs, the ethereal tones of crystal singing bowls and setting it all to the backbeat of an eclectic variety of world percussion instruments, the ensemble has crafted a truly extraordinary experience. Each element is carefully chosen and delivered with intention, creating a symphony of soothing vibrations that nurture the mind, body, and soul. Their offerings create an immersive experience that transports participants towards a state of deep inner calm. Through carefully curated sessions, individuals are invited to release stress, let go of tension, and embark on a profound journey of self-exploration.
Each Sound Journey is a unique tapestry of sonic landscapes, woven together with love and a deep commitment to the individual's well-being. The purity of sound permeates every cell, evoking a sense of harmony that soothes the spirit and opens doors to personal transformation.

KIRTAN CONCERT
Join Astrud and her dear friends for an evening of Kirtan or mantra meditation. We use mantra, sound, and vibration to polish the mirror of the heart and dismantle the illusion of separation. Man means mind, and tra means instrument. Mantras are instruments or tools used to redirect our mind to the Source, Peace, and ultimately, the heart. We use this time to celebrate being alive, send prayers to those in need and be in community.
