HARP: Heal/Attend/Refresh/Presence: A Harp Meditation for Peace and Healing offers a time and space for reflection. The Harp improvisation offers a space, welcoming the listener into the present, connecting within, releasing and resting in a sound experience so you may silently reflect.
May the music support you as you take time to welcome yourself to the present, to your breath and your connection with all that is breath.
May the music support you as you take time to allow yourself to release whatever you no longer need, as you take time to breathe into yourself, and be present to yourself.
May the music support you as you take time to feel gratitude for your presence, for your very being.
Peace in our breathing together.
Peace in our listening together.
Peace in our being together.
Peace in our life time.
Julia Haines has developed a unique approach to the lever harp, with primary influences ranging from classical and traditional, to improvisational, experimental and contemporary music. Influenced by the beauty of Celtic melodies, and the polyrhythmic tradition of the Mandingo kora from her studies with Alhaji Bai Konte, she creates a radiant music, honoring the Earth and all our relations. Her improvisational skills and understanding of the power of music as a healing energy of the Universe, led her to a career as a music therapist and composer/performer.
