Songs of Praise (A musical puja)

3 Jun
10:00 am - 1:00 pm
A morning exploring puja, and songs from the soundtracks of our lives.
An experimental exploration, bringing the everyday songs we love into the mythic realm of Puja, so we can share songs with the Bodhisattvas, even in the midst of our mundane lives.
All welcome. Think about what songs you love, bring an open heart and mind, and pop music will never be the same again!
With Steph and Abhayamala.
