OPENING TO GRACEAn Evening of Healing/Awakening Chantswith DIANE BARDWELL MASTERSSunday,July 19th at Hidden Springs, Ashland"When Diane sings, her voice wends its way into your heart. Like a healing elixir, it instills courage; it helps you to gather your forces and move again and again toward the expression of your best self. It repairs wounds that need mending. It allows you to breathe easy and free. It is wonderful too, to watch her perform, to see the joy she feels in doing what she knows she was put on earth to do." (Margaret Wolff, author ofIn Sweet Company: Conversations with Extraordinary Women About Living a Spiritual Life)“Diane sings with more emotional energy connection than I have ever heard. I was moved, energized, elated, and relaxed, all at once. Her chants are uplifting andinspiring. I highly recommend her chanting event.” (Rod Newton, D.C., Owner - Hidden Springs Wellness Center, Ashland)Welcome to an evening not only of soul-centered chanting, but also of songs of breakthrough and awakening, taken from Diane’s latest CD (O Breathe us Deep). Some of her songs are devotional, some are raw; some soar, some sing and bleed; but all are presented in the spirit of awakening to who and what we truly are.Diane's mission is to provide healing/awakening music that helps to counteract the despair, disconnection, fearfulness, and apathy that is so prevalent today.This she does not by having us rise above our difficulties, but rather by carrying us through them — on the wings of her chants and songs — until we areanchored to our core of being.Her chants — all original and in English — affirm and deepen our connection to who and what we truly are, set to music composed to help the words sink intoever deeper levels of consciousness.“Diane's music is one of those magical bridges that let us journey freely between the finite and the infinite. When I hear her music my heart opens to explore the vast depth of our human emotions and experiences. When I sing along to her music, I am connected to the part of me untouched by the circumstances of life. I am Home. Diane's concerts at our yoga studio filled thespace with such profound love and an enormous sense of coming together as a community. We were uplifted and grounded, simultaneously. An evening with Diane will transform, expand, nourish and sustain you. Like cool, sweet water when we are dying of thirst.” (Marita Weiser, founder of Sol Yoga Centre, Vancouver, BC)LOCATION & TIME: Hidden Springs, 1651 Siskiyou Blvd., Sunday, July 19th at 7:30pm.
