Third Ear
an evening of deep listening
“Listen carefully… and attend with the ear of your heart.”— Rule of St. Benedict
◦
Third Ear is a gathering built around a simple practice: music as meditation.
Transcendent sound. Inner listening. An evening that begins with tea and deepens into sets of live music from contemplative traditions.
◦
