~ Oasis Song Circle ~
A Co-Creative Musical Journey

Sunday, Jan 5th, 4:30-7:30pm

Oasis Farm, 330 Reynolds Road. Saltspring Island

($20-40 Suggested Donation)

The Experience

The music creates a collective experience where the audience becomes the orchestra. Max and Alex bridge the gap between the stage and the audience by offering themselves as an anchor and providing simple melodies to sing along with. The musicians are committed to being with what’s present in the moment and thrive off of audience participation - ‘you feed us and we feed you’. The journey is co-collaborative and infused with creative improvised instrumentals.

It is our birthright to sing, to move and all be a part of music. When we sing together we can tap into a sense of belonging and interconnectedness. We can become a lighthouse to finding ourselves and seeing each other. Every part of ourselves is welcomed to be held and witnessed as part of this shared space. When we can open our palms to be with both the joyful and challenging aspects of life, we can open ourselves up to deeper freedom, harmony, and co-creativity.

What are the common threads that bridge jazz, soul, and classical music with spiritual connection and community service?

This is the question that drives international touring artist Max Ribner. His Flugelhorn and trumpet create rich, reverent sounds connecting us to our musical ancestry. He's performed with notable artists like Esperanza Spalding and Trevor Hall. His debut album "1st Language" features over 50 artists, including members of Snarky Puppy and Prince's band, and was mixed by Grammy winner Ben Kane. Released in 2020, it stands as a celebration of collective humanity.

Music is Life...

Holding it down with Max will be Alex King-Harris (aka Rara Avis), an internationally celebrated musician and wellness pioneer. His innovative approach to breathwork and sound creates transformative experiences that bridge ancient wisdom with modern practice. He's co-created acclaimed projects like Desert Dwellers and Liquid Bloom. His work in Musical Mindfulness, developed over 25 years of practice and study, stands as an invitation to deep authenticity and healing through sound.

EXPERIENCE THE JOY OF YOUR BODY AS AN INSTRUMENT

Transform, nourhish, refresh and belong in the depth and natural beauty of your voice.

"With this practice, I am able to go deeper into who I am and look at who I was and how I can feel and do better by breathing and being present, as well as learning to work and sing with others. I feel that is very important to live in a community or society. I am able look at my shadows and see through to the other side, not judging them but sharing love with them. The presence that Alex holds is difficult to put into words, the medicine he shares is potent! He is so composed, centered, and compassionate all at the same time! The tools he shares invaluable!  Breathing techniques and musical melodies that help one find there inner voice as well as work though and breath during difficult times!  It is truly a ceremonial experience giving life and breath to the daily life ceremony." - Justin
