It’s wonderful to see how the challenges and uncertainties of this time are starting to be balanced out by outpourings of courage, generosity, creativity, and compassion.
Museums are offering virtual tours; opera companies are offering free HD web streaming; Ivy League colleges are offering free online courses.
Ananda communities and teaching centers around the world are offering everything online: Sunday services; how to meditate; live sadhanas; energization; and more.
It’s like everyone is asking, “What can I give? What can I do?”
Well, Ramesha and I are no exception! But after asking ourselves those questions for a few days we were still unclear as to the best way to offer what we have to give.
Then I happened to receive an email announcement from the singing phenomenon known as Choir! Choir! Choir! — announcing their Choir!ntine: EPIC Social Distan-Sing-Along! — and realized this is what we could offer to our community as well…the opportunity to gather as a global family and sing together. To experience the reality that our bodies might be separated but we’re always united in spirit!
Soooo…the first session of our Joyous Global Sing-Along starts tomorrow night (Tuesdays are when our Ananda Village choir usually rehearses) at 7:00 pm Pacific time via Facebook Live on our Ananda Music Facebook page.
We’re really looking forward to doing our part to balance the challenges and uncertainties of this time. Come join us! 🙂
