Chapel of the Chimes. Oakland, CA.
The most amazing dailybell solstice so far-- this year's sunset bell ringing is the 10th performance at the annual 'Garden of Memory' event at the Chapel of the Chimes in Oakland. The Garden of Memory is curated by Sarah Cahill and populated by 1000's of people who come to share the Solstice with fabulous performances in such a beautiful and unique place.
Blessings and kudos to all who participated with the Cardew Choir in the 4 hour performance of Pauline Oliveros' 'Heart Chant'. The vocal sound and energy was so contagious it spread throughout the crowd. It was magical. Thank you all
Many thanks to Jenny Holland, Miriam Jacobs, Liz Keim, Wendy Reid and Betsey Willson for their help talking with people and distributing invitations and bells. And thank you Jesse Budel for documenting the performance. (Anyone interested in the entire 20 minute experience can see his piece on vimeo)
