It began with a lovely dance by Parvaneh Rowshan in a gorgeous costume from India.
Then, there was a native drummer and singer.
As the crowd made ready to walk the labyrinth, the Rhythm and Song Community Choir from nearby Almonte began to lead them with beautiful, haunting melodies.
And the people walked and meditated.
Sue took some video, and I have put 3 clips together. They show the drummer, the choir, and some walking around the labyrinth. Length: 53 seconds.
It was a lovely summer evening with the winds dying down and the sun coming out after a not so nice day. What a fine way to greet the summer.
very nice event!
ReplyDeleteLovely! I have walked a few labytrinths, notably one in Florida and one in England.
ReplyDeleteIndeed a wonderful way to greet summer and, thankfully, Mother Nature was cooperative as well.
ReplyDeletePeaceful and lovely. Welcome summer indeed!
ReplyDeleteI was wondering about the path of the labyrinth, because there seemed to be some dead ends. But you had to walk on the grass and then of course there weren't...
ReplyDeleteAnother little wonder: have you ever thought about singing in a choir? I have heard your voice once or twice and if you can hold a tune, I bet every (male) choir near and far would love to have you sing with them!
What an utterly cool way to celebrate the solstice.
ReplyDeleteWhat a fun event!
ReplyDeleteBTW We encountered some Almonte folks on the canoe trek today!
