Voices and Music for World Peace: A Very Special Event At Gualala Arts
In these dangerous and turbulent times, the Gualala Arts “Global Harmony Series” invites you to a free event. “Encouraging global harmony by sharing cultures through the arts” is the mission of the Global Harmony Series.
On Saturday, April 16, 2022 at 3:00 p.m. we can come together. “Voices and Music for World Peace” is a locally created event that can unite us in this urgent and vital cause. Produced by Fred Adler, this special afternoon will take place at the outdoor JAMI Amphitheater at Gualala Arts.
“A good thing to remind people who are already feeling depressed and defeated is that any action, no matter how small, adds up. Doing something is empowering. Expressing ones’ self is empowering. Coming together is empowering. It’s like many people praying on the same thing. It’s powerful, but of course there is no ONE way or time to respond.” (Anonymous)
There is an idea worth considering: other than being human, we are all different. We are all unique. And yet, to one degree or another, we have shared beliefs, ideas, attitudes, and knowledge, things that we have in common as human beings and citizens of the planet. Sociologists (and others) call this “Collective Consciousness.” Citizens of the world may not always think of themselves as that, preferring, for example, to simply adopt the idea that “I live on the coast”. The truth is, that we are all humans, and therefore we are all connected in numerous ways, and these common threads form the basis of societies, large and small. We are each unique but we are connected to others, and that is what makes a society: “A Collective Consciousness”. When (or if) you accept that idea, you see that what we have in common brings us together.
According to Adler, “this unique gathering for world peace during these difficult times, is a significant work-in-progress.
Brief talks from the heart, plus moving and appropriate musical statements from our rich and deep local resources will fill the afternoon air, as we join together in community expression for “Peace on earth and goodwill towards all.”
“I earnestly hope that you will join us, bringing your own special presence and energy towards World Peace on this Easter, Passover and Emancipation Day weekend, 2022.” (Numerous impassioned coastal musicians and speakers to be announced soon.)
