I received a call a while ago from Lorne Calvert, the principal of St. Andrew’s College in Saskatoon, SK, asking if I would be willing to receive an honorary doctorate from the college at their convocation in June! My first reaction was “why?” 🙂 But I am grateful to the college and to those across the country who nominated me for the honour.
There is now an article on the St. Andrew’s website about the nomination, and we’ll be in Saskatoon on May 8 to receive the degree!
Come and spend an enchanting afternoon with Bruce Harding and Babeeta Chhabra on February 22nd between 2-4pm at the Nataraja Wellness Centre in New Westminster, BC. A time of healing instrumental improvisation, gentle chanting, movement and meditation. No previous experience required, donations accepted.
Babeeta Chhabra is a singer/songwriter, dancer and yoga teacher. She has travelled and taught Yoga workshops in a number of different countries and is the creator of the Nataraja Wellness Centre, which is founded on healing through music, dance and meditation. She is passionate about creating music and dance compositions that authentically blend the best of the East and West.
We’re heading out to southwestern Ontario in November for a round of concerts and workshops, with a stop on Winnipeg on our way home to spend an intercultural weekend with our friends at Knox United Church. We’re doing a couple of concerts with our good friend, Neeraj Prem, one of Canada’s finest sitarists, plus a number of events on our own. Join us if you can, and please help us spread the word!
Details are up on our events calendar, or email us for more information. Should be lots of fun! We look forward to seeing you and singing with you!
September – a lovely time of year to be in the Maritimes! September 13-14 I’ll be offering music and workshop leadership at Music Matters, a conference sponsored by Music United, the United Church of Canada Association of Musicians. And following the conference, our annual AGM for Music United on PEI. Should be fun. I’d love to see you there if you’re in the area!
Join us for Drumming for Peace!, September 21 at 7:30pm at Crossroads United Church.
Drumming for Peace! is an intercultural and interfaith gathering of drummers of all skill levels – beginners welcome! We will have drums and percussion on hand for 50 or more participants, bring your own drum if you have one so more can attend. We’ll be laying down meditative grooves, improvising chanted prayers for peace, dancing around the labyrinth. Curious passive participants welcome, active contribution encouraged. A free event, but please bring a donation for our local food bank.
Drumming for Peace! is part of the Global Synchronized Meditation for World Peace organized by Unify.org to celebrate International Day of Peace.
