The six annual Meditation for Musicians Retreat retreat will be led by Madeline Bruser, pianist, teacher, and author of the highly acclaimed book The Art of Practicing: A Guide to Making Music from the Heart. The program will include meditation workshops and music workshops using meditative listening, sensory awareness, and relaxation techniques to help you release physical and mental tension and transcend your current level of performance. Musicians performing in the workshops will also receive instruction in easeful posture and movement.
This program can help you:
* Improve focus and increase enjoyment in practice and performance
* Achieve more emotional intensity with less physical tension
* Cultivate fluidity and rhythmic vitality
* Discover greater authenticity and conviction as a musician
* Perform with more confidence, warmth, and freedom
