Global Chant Has Moved!
Since Wednesday, October 5, 2011, the original 6pm Wed GC circle in central Tucson has met at Our Saviour's Lutheran Church, 1200 N. Campbell Ave. That is one block north of Speedway on the east side of Campbell Ave (see map). We usually meet in the Koch Chapel, on the west side of the church campus, closest to Campbell. But during the month of December 2011, we are meeting in the activities building. This change is well marked. So, you should be able to find us. Hope to see you there!
Chant Fest: May 17
May 17 is a very special day. Besides being the full moon and the
Buddhist holiday of Wesak (commemorating the birth, enlightenment, and death of
the Buddha), it is also World Chant Day(http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_6UT5En-WgA) and Global Chant's 15th anniversary. We are celebrating with a sacred chant extravaganza.
Special guest chant leaders will include the Tucson Women's chorus, the monks of the Triratana
Buddhist Temple, and representatives from the yoga, Sufi, and Taizé chant communities. Chant Fest starts at 6:30pm in the ballroom of the Armory Park Center, 220 S. 5th Ave. Admission is by donation, and proceeds will benefit PlayHaven (http://www.playhaven.org). We will have about 300 folding chairs, but please feel free to bring a cushion if you'd like to sit on the floor. Percussion instruments are also welcome.
The event should last about two hours. Looking forward to seeing you there!
Next PlayHaven Planning Meeting
Our next Tucson meeting for PlayHaven is Wed, February 9, at 7:30pm, immediately after Global Chant, in the McBride Fellowship Hall of Grace St. Paul's Episcopal Church, 2331 E. Adams, Tucson. If you have any questions, please e-mail: play@playhaven.org. Hope to see you there!
