A night of Dharma-inspired music with Ravenna Michalsen
Thursday, May 1st - 8:00 p.m.
Buddhist House (356 Washington)
"Gutsy, powerful, colorful, and as deeply devotional singing as you'll ever hear. Think Buddhist gospel music... Her pure and clear voice is skillfully combined with a lush and atmospheric soundscape, and the sparse textures help to spotlight the breadth of her emotional range."

Joel Pitney, an associate editor of What is Enlightenment? Magazine, will be introducing the spiritual teaching of Evolutionary Enlightenment. Here's a description of what it's all about:
In a world of unprecedented flux and uncertainty, this innovative teaching has been developed in response to the unique spiritual demands of our time. It enables individuals to dynamically engage in their own transformation and to come together with others to bring about a new and truly enlightened expression of human life. Evolutionary Enlightenment is a moral, philosophical, and spiritual framework that makes it possible to live for the highest purpose: the evolution of consciousness itself.
