A Valentine’s Love Trance Sound Journey
February 13 @5:30-6:30pm
Join Rick de Yampert for a Valentine’s Love Trance Sound Journey with live sitar, flutes, tongue drums, tribal percussion and ethereal synths, plus live readings of love poetry by Rumi, Yeats, Nikki Giovanni and others – and chocolates! Your destination – love! Romantic love, self-love, love of life. Couples or solo attendees are welcome. This one-hour encounter begins as patrons step into the intimate, soft-lit Séance Room. Participants can bring their own yoga mat, blanket or pillow, or sit in chairs or on the sofa while Rick performs soft trance music while intermittently reading love wisdom and poetry. Your journey will conclude with an encounter with Spirit: As trance music plays, patrons will choose a card from the deck Rumi: The Path of Love, receiving wisdom on life and love from the ancient Persian poet and Sufi mystic to meditate upon heading into Valentine’s Day and beyond. And then – chocolates for all! Cost is $25 cash only and held at Hotel Cassadaga. Space is limited and advance registration is recommended by calling 386-228-2323.
