The Human Summit
A Global Meditation to Reclaim the True Value of Human Existence
A mass meditation will be held in Toronto, Canada and in cities around the globe to coincide with the Toronto G20 Summit.  This event is being spear-headed by The Human Summit:  www.humansummit.com  The Human Summit was born out of the desire to have a civil engagement response to the G-20 Summit in Toronto that is both spiritually and politically conscious. As world leaders meet in Toronto to discuss the future of the global economy, there will be many voices clamoring for attention. Some of these voices will originate in chaos and fear and result in protests and civil disobedience. This meditation will offer a peaceful, non-violent alternative for conscious civil engagement to the residents and visitors to Toronto during the G-20 Summit.

Among those supporting and performing at the Summit are:  Voice3: Ann-Marie Boudreau, Lisa Hartt-Spillane, Hazel Walker as well as Michael Franklin, Kathleen Gillis, Greg Dean, Lucie Brisson, Dolphin, Emilio Zarris, Deidrey Francois, The World Drum!,  The Center for Spiritual Living, Absolute Groove, plus many more!
Where:  Woodbine Park (Coxwell and Lakeshore Blvd East.  When:  11:00am to 3:00pm.  Includes a variety of Vendors.  For more information please check the Human Summit website.

Exploring the Visionary Within – a Two Day Workshop

Combining a variety of creative tools this exploratory workshop also touches on soundwork which utilizes an intimate knowledge of the chakra system, shamanic traditions and the vibrational nature of our bodies to enhance and deepen our life experience; voicework as a personal intent including an exploration of improvised vocalization and ‘vocables’, made up words in the moment; intentional sounding with voice and world instruments intended to bring the sounders into a heart-centered space along with those listening and ‘receiving sound’; being embodied through movement guided from the inside-out, being present to our breath…our life-energy and opening further to the enjoyment of all our senses through a ‘massage of the senses’.  No prior musical skills required. *Please wear comfortable clothing as movement is involved.  Bring along a yoga mat as there will be floor work and a bottle of water.

We will explore improvisational vocalizing, vocables (made-up words that are sung) and melodic patterns. Ann-Marie will play a variety of exotic musical instruments used in vocal traditions from around the globe. Join her as she weaves together her wonderful vocal and musical skills creating a magical workshop of vocal exploration. No musical experience is required but don’t forget to bring your inner child.

Hosted by Ann-Marie Boudreau
Join us for this intimate and personal ‘live surround-sound’ experience!  Created as an evening of relaxation, we’ll be encouraging you to move into a place of stillness inside, a reflection of nature in its hibernation and gestation period.  Doors open at 7:15pm, the Journey starts at 7:30pm sharp! Arrive early to set up your space. Note: doors are locked at 7:45pm so as not to interrupt those journeying.

What is a Sound Journey?  For 90 minutes allow yourself to be enfolded by deep healing sounds from acoustic world instruments being played around and over you.  A sound journey can support you as you move into a deepening meditative state while reclining and relaxing.  At times melodic, sometimes dissonant, the soundscape is created utilizing an intimate knowledge of the chakra system, shamanic traditions and the vibrational nature of our bodies to enhance and deepen the meditation experience.
