Workshop on the Bamboo Way
Using sound/music to reach greater self-knowledge
and
A deeper experience of one's s/Self


For all those who wish to use sound/music as a door to a spiritual practice

I will play during the course of the day such pieces as
Kyorei, Sanya, Reibo, and Koku in the Jin Nyodo Kinko style and
Eirei Ni Sasagu and Gekko Reibo from Yokoyama Rampo's Kinko Honkyoku compositions
as well as Kogarashi, a beautiful 20th century Tozan Honkyoku piece by Nakao Tozan I

"Here, let me try.
I will give you a flute voice for your way,
A song of all the worlds and stirrings of my years and
You will be able to walk straightly and strongly.
Don't forget its voice;
Its singing will emerge from you too then."
