About me: Dear friends, in the spirit of the light always returning, I wanted to share with you in 'a new light' whatever I can about the Harmonic Chant lineage practices and the Harmonic Presence work.
Our Harmonic Presence Foundation is a transdisciplinary organization supporting harmonic knowledge and research integrating music, cosmology and neuroscience, and contemplative practice. I'm a composer-singer, contemplative awareness accompanist, and have been developing Harmonic Chant, a comprehensive system of contemplative music, since 1975, the year I founded The Harmonic Choir (New York, 1975), now in its 36th year.
I often offer my music on behalf of the Buddha Dharma, and have had the honor to co-host events with HH the Dalai Lama, and the Gyuto and Gyume Monks. I've offered my music to such "sacred cinema" Dharma films as "Travellers and Magicians" by Dzongsar Khyentse Rinpoché and "Journey Into Buddhism" by John Bush, in addition to other films such as "Meetings with Remarkable Men" by Peter Brook, about the master G.I. Gurdjieff; "Baraka"; "Asanasazi" The Lost Ones", and many others.
Our Foundation has collaborated with the Mind and Life Institute, a world-wide group of neuroscientists and contemplative practitioners sponsored by the Dalai Lama, which explores the benefits of contemplative practice on the brain, mind, and life. It was wonderful to offer the closing evening concert and presentation, including a concert with The Harmonic Choir, celebrating the 25th anniversary of my album with the group, "Hearing Solar Winds," available in a special audiophile version here: http://www.cdbaby.com/cd/dhathc3.
Our Harmonic Chant lineage practices are a comprehensive contemplative approach to the harmonic presence universally found in music and listening consciousness. I also share the Harmonic Presence work, an integrated system of contemplative awareness practice based on relationships between mind, music, meditation and healing harmonization.
Certain senior practitioners of Harmonic Chant have now completed more than 10,000 hours of contemplative and musical practice, over the past 30 years.
Our Harmonic Presence Foundation, founded at the Cathedral of St. John the Divine on September 11, 1981, offers a comprehensive approach to harmonic awareness, combining exploration of the nature of musical sound, a highly-developed body of musical practices and techniques, contemplative awareness teachings linking silence, sensation and listening, and a deep sensitivity to the realms of healing harmonization.
Our work provides special opportunities for students who are interested to go deeper into harmonic realms of consciousness and music, so that music can becomes an authentic support for contemplative practice. There, attunement and deep listening work together, and real healing can take place.
You are very welcome to directly study our music and work, at the Foundation's center in France or in the USA and other countries. Please feel free to email us at harmonicworld@gmail.com. You can also inquire about the Harmonic Presence Online Study Program.
