​

Every religious tradition has a relationship with silence.  Even a secular perspective on the world can find studies noting the benefits of meditation and mindfulness.

 

Come join a diverse and growing community of people who have in common an interest in engaging the practice of silence in a group setting.  
Our weekly community will decide the details of our gatherings (what music we may experiment with, length of silence, etc) together and will likely shift over time as we find a rhythm.

​

Featured Guest Artists

 

Monthly we will invite an artist to join us whose work deals with the themes of contemplative music, contemplative silence, and how music can prepare us for an encounter with silence.  In the past these performances have ranged from drone music, to an improvised string quartet, to a violin piece with a backtrack made in part from the sounds of ice cracking on the Great Lakes.

 

On March 23, Marcus Elliot, Detroit-based saxophonist, composer, improviser, and educator will present Creation Codes: an exploration of sound, meaning, and myth through improvisation.
