Special appearance by The Nile Project with L.A. ensemble master artists
Based upon the ancient water ritual of the Israelite tribes in Jerusalem, the Yuval Ron Ensemble presents a program of sacred Hebrew prayers for bringing rain, pilgrimage songs and ecstatic tribal music and dance. The origins of the ritual goes back thousands of years to a regular annual festival that took place every autumn in the capital of the ancient Israeli kingdom. Themes of forgiveness, redemption, engaging with the water and the earth below in order to stimulate the water of the higher world were interwoven in this ritual which ended with intense joyful celebration

Water is life. It sustains us, and everything around us. It’s the original “highway,” linking us together. And it inspires us—the subject of poems, songs and dances.
VPAC celebrates water on February 25. A daytime performance festival in the VPAC Courtyard features six Los Angeles ensembles with origins in six regions of the world. These traditional artists have one thing in common — music and dance that honors and evokes water.
VPAC honors arts and culture from around the globe, and uplifts the artists who honor what is most elemental to all of us — H2O.

12:00-12:45: Rhythms of the Middle East
A family friendly demonstration of the various rhythms used in Middle Eastern music and the unique drums being used in the area. Participants will learn trance rhythms from Iran and how to count ‘exotic’ beats like 7/8, 10/8, and 9/8, and to play them on their own drum.

1:00-2:00: Healing and Transforming Consciousness through Sacred Sound, Music, and Dance
Experience introspective and ecstatic practices of four ancient spiritual paths: Zen Buddhism, Kabbalistic Judaism, Early Contemplative Christianity, and Sufi-Islam. This unique experiential seminar will journey deep into sacred music chanting, movement, and spiritual mindfulness practices, drawing from the hidden wisdom of the traditions of the East. These practices result in heart opening, increased compassion, and deepening of inner explorations, and have been shown scientifically to impact the structure and function of the brain in ways that enhance memory, cognition, and awareness. These practices also promote healing by lowering stress, anxiety, depression, and anger. The activities are based on Yuval Ron’s work with master spiritual teachers of the East and neuroscientists of the West. Through this incredible journey to your inner world, you will have a rare perspective into the worlds of Zen Buddhist masters, mystic Sufi leaders, Kabbalistic rabbis, leading neuroscientists, and scholars of the mysticism of Christianity.

This seminar is experiential, and will not be lecture-based. Its focus is to provide a deep spiritual experience through walking meditation, sacred movement from Zen, Hebrew, and Sufi sources, ecstatic chanting meditations, storytelling, poetry, and live Oud music by Yuval Ron.

2:00-3:00: Music as a Bridge: Bringing People Together with Music
A talk with live music, exploring ways to teach unity and tolerance, using music as a platform for meeting your opponent, your neighbor, and the other. In addition, a discussion of the path of music as a way to connect to the reality beyond all realities.

Sacred Music and Dance: Tradition and Ethics, Exploration and Appropriation

Join a discussion about the phenomenon of learning cultural spiritual traditions: Where do the lines of appropriation lie? How are traditions changing, both in context and out of context…or in “new” contexts? How can “outsiders” learn and honor dance and music techniques and traditions, with respect? Are there elements of sacred traditions that are embedded in their practice, engendering particular experiences regardless of your relation to the culture’s spirituality? This discussion of arts, ethics, spirituality, and virtuosity will be fascinating and far-reaching…bring your questions!
