This summer, The Edge is thrilled to present two extraordinary musical experiences that will uplift, inspire, and transport you into a world of sound and spirit. We are delighted to welcome David Hickey and Brenda McMorrow for two unforgettable performances open to the public that take inspiration from ancient traditions, as well as Gina Horswood for a number of intimate retreat concerts.
An Afternoon of Sacred Songs with Brenda McMorrow – May 25, 2:00 – 3:30 PM
Brenda McMorrow is a sacred music artist who is known for her unique and warmly embracing style of mantra medicine music, in which she blends elements of acoustic folk, world rhythms, and ancient Indian chants with a sweetly introspective singer-songwriter’s sensibility.
With Sanskrit Mantra and Kirtan (call and response singing) as the basis, Brenda weaves in the power of Latin American Medicine songs and her own inspiring English lyrics to create a healing and uplifting tapestry with the audience. Yoga Journal describes Brenda as having “a knack for expressing the deepest realizations in the sparsest lyrics”. As spiritual teacher Ram Dass has said: “Brenda has a gift”, and her music has been touching people’s hearts worldwide.
Cost: $30/person +hst ($35+hst at the door)
Participants of Gaia Hive’s Folk Herbalism & Plant Connection Retreat (May 23 – 25) have the option of purchasing a ticket and sticking around for the concert after the retreat ends.
Crystal Journey with David Hickey – August 29, 7:30 – 9:30 PM
Prepare to be immersed in the deep, resonant vibrations of Paiste Planet Gongs, Persian Santoors, and Quartz Crystal Singing Bowls.
David Hickey has been mesmerizing audiences for over two decades with his sonic journeys, crafting a meditative and transcendent experience. His unique fusion of sound, inspired by Pythagorean Cosmology, creates a profound healing environment that resonates with the mind, body, and spirit.
Cost: $40/person + hst (add on $20 +hst to reserve an Aerial Silk to lounge in during the concert).
Participants of our Quest for Balance Retreat (August 29 – September 1) will have access to this transformative event on the arrival night of their retreat. A reduced rate for the concert has been built into the retreat pricing.
Each of these concerts offers a rare opportunity to experience the healing power of music in an intimate, natural setting. Hosted in our new studio space, Radiance, these performances will offer a unique and immersive experience with unconventional seating arrangements, including yoga mats, bolsters, and backjack chairs, allowing for deep relaxation and comfort unlike a traditional concert hall. Don’t miss the chance to be part of these soul-stirring gatherings at The Edge this summer!
