PLEASE SHARE THIS FREE AND SPECIAL EVENT We welcome back Damien Rose for another beautiful Singing Bowl Meditation at the Dharma Bum Temple! The sound of Tibetan singing bowls might be described as complex purity. Within the sound that is heard when the bowl is struck, there exists the anahat nad, the unstruck sound that can be a representation of the indwelling spirit hidden, yet fully alive and beautiful. Damien Rose, a musician and healer, uses the sounds of the bo...wls to evoke communion with the eternal and lead listeners into a state of deep peace and relaxation that promotes healing and well-being. Damien Rose studied piano as a child, and guitar and songwriting as a teen, but he decided on a law career and had passed his bar exam when, while driving around California’s coastal towns, listening to the very first recording of Tibetan singing bowls to have reached the West, a chance encounter with a hitchhiker who just happened to be a Tibetan singing bowl player changed the course of his life. Since that day, Rose, who has been described as a truly heart-aligned musician, has devoted himself to the exploration of the healing properties of these magnificent, conscious-raising sounds. "Liquid Bells Singing Bowls is a pure and sacred statement that leads us straight into the heart of the silence. Thank you, Damien, for creating this beautiful recording." - Deva Premal and Miten "Damien offers sublime sound healing through his mastery of Tibetan Bowls." - Shiva Rea "The lovely sound of Damien’s singing bowls is simple, spatial and without arrogance. His cd is one of the best of my whole singing bowls music collection of about 100 discs. I am in awe! Highly recommended: a gorgeous and excellently recorded CD!" - Geert Verbeke
