It is with deep gratitude that we send out thanks to the 65 or so Getting’ Higher Choir (GHC) members who sang for the venerable Joanna Macy (respected Buddhist scholar, articulate and passionate writer and speaker, fierce activist, and imaginative teacher) last Thursday evening to a sold-out crowd of 250 on the Quarterdeck! Singing in the evening with a resonant rendition of Gaia- Another World is Possible and led by their co-director, Shivon Robinsong, the choir set a tone of intention and love that wrapped itself around and held the evening.
Joanna was brilliantly inspiring – you could have heard a pin drop the entire time this wise and enlivened elder woman spoke of our dark time and the precious gifts that are making themselves available to us as we take the time to honour the pain for the world and share all of ourselves (and what it means to be fully human), with each other and with the more than human world. Closing with We Are the Ones We’ve Been Waiting For and then a book signing, many lingered on, basking in the glow of what beautiful thing had just happened!
