Celtic Inspired Meditative Music
Reserve Seats for June 29th Cooper Chapel

Rachel and Brittany Maroney (cello) will be sharing Celtic Inspired Meditative Music. Rachel has created these songs from the Evening Prayers for the 5 p.m. worship bulletin at Christ Episcopal Contemplative Service. She’s created these lullaby-like reassuring spiritual songs to be shared communally and will perform them with piano, voice and cello.
The designed purpose and nature of the music is a gentle simplicity that invites repetition. We will be making Music Mantras so to speak, inviting the listener to join in and sing along on the repeats, or to simply enjoy and close one’s eyes in the peaceful environment.
These songs, though new to the listener, will readily become familiar and like friends who make it easy to relax in each other’s company. The gentle melody’s simplicity will naturally create a slow refreshing inhale for a tired heart that didn’t know it needed a deep breath.
This event is on Sunday, June 29th, at 6:30 pm, in the Cooper Chapel of the Christ Church campus located at 400 San Juan Drive in Ponte Vedra Beach. That event will be limited to 50 peaceful souls.
Free will donations will be graciously accepted for both gatherings.
