Third Ear

an evening of deep listening

“Listen carefully… and attend with the ear of your heart.”— Rule of St. Benedict

◦

Third Ear is a gathering built around a simple practice: music as meditation.

Transcendent sound. Inner listening. An evening that begins with tea and deepens into sets of live music from contemplative traditions.

◦

The listener behind the listener
