One Soul Sounding is back again this year for another transformative night of singing, story-telling, dance and audience participation in celebration of the Spring Equinox. Last year, the sold out audience departed the concert so happy, openhearted and feeling interconnected, it inspired all of the performers to return again this year.
One Soul Sounding was created out of a desire to encourage a shared experience of cross-cultural community. Because of its success, Lisa Rafel has committed to producing the concert as an annual event. Even in an urban environment, when we participate in the seasonal changes of the earth, and reconnect with our own natural rhythms through song and ritual, we can experience a sense of meaningful renewal and joy.
For this one night, ten world-class musicians form an ensemble. Through music, story telling, and ritual, the performers play with and for each other, becoming a community onstage and supporting each other seamlessly throughout the evening. The audience becomes an integral part of the evening as they join in to sing-a–long and become a part of the non-denominational ritual that celebrates the Spring Equinox, new beginnings, and re-birth. The Equinox is the only time when the whole world is in balance, which makes it a perfect setting for a cross-cultural community celebration.
One Soul Sounding is a rare opportunity to enjoy the talents of these extraordinary musicians and performers in one place. Vocalists Linda Tillery, Evelie Delfino Såles Posch, Eda Maxym and overtone chantress Lisa Rafel join didgeridoo wizard Stephen Kent, pianist and award winning composer and performer Gary Malkin, world-music virtuoso Tim Rayborn, cellist Kris Yenney, dancer Arisika Razak, and master story-teller Luisah Teish to create one power-packed, lively event. Collectively, they blend the diverse cultures of Africa, Europe, the Middle East, Australia, Mongolia, the Philippines, England, and America. This concert is co-sponsored by the Holistic Health Departments of San Francisco State University and JFK University, and the Women’s Spirituality Dept and Holistic Studies Program of the California Institute of Integral Studies.

December 21 Winter Solstice Ritual
Planting Seeds
With Dr. Illana Berger, Rev. Priya Friday
and Gary Malkin
7:00 - 9:30
Location: Studio Rasa
933 Parker Street
Berkeley, Ca 94710
Winter Solstice and the New Year are times when most of us reflect on the past year and envision the future. Some do this in the privacy of meditation, some with friends and others in the contemplative pages of journals.
Each New Year millions of people make resolutions to do things differently. For many that is as far as it gets - an intention without a real commitment!
Cultures from around the world understand that the new year is an opportunity to spiritually turn the wheel of dharma and begin anew. Through rituals and ceremonies the possiblity and the real potential available for change and renewal is honored. This is the perfect time to look at areas in your own life that you might wish to adjust.
In order to support you in this process, we are offering you an opportunity to cast off those parts of yourself that no longer serve your life and to plant new seeds for a new beginning by joining us in community for a Winter Solstice Ritual.
The evening will provide time to reflect and re-claim your future. Using song, chanting, meditation ritual we will purify and prepare for a new vision for ourselves and our world. This evening is dedicated to gathering as a community to reflect on our lives, our world and our future, together.
We would love you to join us!
