Oct 12/13 Maleny/Coolum - The Mystical Arts of Tibet Tour
Posted on behalf of The Art of Mother Earth...
The Art of Mother Earth and the Dalai Lamas office proudly present:-
For the first time in Australia – the Dalai Lama's monks from the Tashi Lhunpo Monastery
The Mystical Arts of Tibet Tour.
Maleny Community Centre Thursday 12th October 730pm
Coolum Civic Centre Friday 13th October 730pm
Bookings : 0754 999 579 or maleny@tpg.com.au Cost: $20/$15
"Tashi Lhunpo was founded by H.H. the 1st Dalai Lama, Gyalwa Gendun Drup, in 1447. It is one of the four great monasteries of Central Tibet which was supervised and looked after by the Dalai Lamas and Panchen Lamas and has the glory of producing thousands of renowned scholars in the field of Mahayana Buddhist Philosophy. After the invasion of Tibet in 1959, Tashi Lhunpo Monastery was re-established at Bylakuppe in South India in 1972. The monastery has monks coming from Tibet and Himalayan regions like Spithi, Khunu, Ladakh, Ghashar and Sangkhar. At present there are over 250 monks including many Tulkus (reincarnate lamas). The monks have to go through year intensive program of study of both sutra and tantra, debate, and are instructed in the creation of sand mandalas and butter sculpture, ritual performance, music, chanting, dance and basic literary skills in Tibetan and English. Each monk must also complete a two to three month meditation retreat for each of the principal deities and protectors, in order to qualify to perform their rituals. The cycle of retreats might take up to six years to complete.
"THE TIBETAN ART OF DIVINATION"
Hear about your past, present and future. Tibetan "Mos" are personal readings for the clearing of all obstacles in your path.
Personal psychic readings by Ngakchen Rinpoche Tenzin Tsultrim. Ngakchen, master of Sutra and Tantra, is one of the most respected re-incarnated Lamas of Tibet, and Senior Monk of the Tashi Lhunpo Monastery.
According to Tibetan Buddhist systems, when a divination is performed the practitioner enters into a visualisation practice and invokes the energies/blessings of the deity associated with that form of divination. The practitioner communicates with the wisdom aspect of the deity's mind, which is none other than our own deep mind. This communication can occur through a variety of mediums. It will be a 30 minute personal reading and there is a minimum offering of $55 for this service.
The readings will be held at the WorldView Centre in Maleny on Thursday 12 October & Friday 13 October from 1000am.
Bookings: 0754 999 579 or maleny@tpg.com.au

They will be accompanied by Tibetan musician and singer Tenzin Choegyal who will also perform traditional Tibetan folk music.

For their first Australian visit the Tashi Lhunpo Monks will be offering a week of Divinations, morning and afternoon meditations, creation of a sand mandala for world peace, a talk on Reincarnation and The Big Happiness Concert to complete the occasion.
All talks, divinations and meditations will be translated by acclaimed Tibetan performer Tenzin Choegyal.
"THE TIBETAN ART OF DIVINATION":
Hear about your past, present and future. Tibetan Mos are personal readings for the clearing of obstacles in your path.
Personal psychic readings by Ngakchen Rinpoche Tenzin Tsultrim, one of the most respected re-incarnated Lamas and Senior Monk of the Tashi Lhumpo Monastery. Ngakchen is a master of Sutra and Tantra.
According to Buddhist systems, when a divination is performed the practitioner enters into a visualization practice and invokes the energies/blessings of the deity associated with that form of divination. The practitioner communicates with the wisdom aspect of the deity's mind, which is none other than our own deep mind. This communication can occur through a variety of mediums.
30 minute personal readings are available. Max 10 per day.
Starting time 9.30am. There is a minimum offering of $55 for this service.
Bookings through your city's contact

Fri 6 Oct BEMAC - "Made in India"
Posted on behalf of BEMAC...
BEMAC Cultivart 'MADE IN INDIA'
FRIDAY 6 October 2006 - 8.00pm
A gifted Veena player, a renowned percussionist, a sophisticated sitar artist, and an experienced vocalist will render the audience speechless at the Brisbane Multicultural Arts Centre (BEMAC) Cultivart event 'Made in India' on Friday 6 October 2006.
As part of its Cultivart series 2006, BEMAC presents four brilliant Brisbane-based artists, all with different musical experiences nonetheless united by one element - their passion for true Indian music.
Let loose with Rajyashree Josyer Shrikanth as she shows how a national instrument - the Veena - is skillfully played in delightful Gayaki (vocalist) style.
The plucked string instrument, central to Carnatic (South Indian) music, will be jovially joined by another prestigious instrument, the Tabla, commanded by Master Tabla Dheeraj Shrestha.
A professional musician and passionate teacher, Dheeraj Shrestha ha sestablished a global profile as India's renowned Tabla player and Australia's leading Indian percussionist, having toured countries such as UK, Canada, USA and Southeast Asia and performed locally including SydneyArts Festival, Port Fairy and Woodford Folk Festival.
Music has always occupied a central place in the imagination of Indians but it is even more fascinating when a foreigner takes interest in a traditional Indian instrument such as a sitar.
Huib Schippers, currently directing the Queensland Conservatorium Research Centre at Griffith University, belongs to the first generation of western sitar players to perform in India, learning from world-renowned Ali Akbar Khan, regarded by many as the most impressive Indian instrumentalist of the twentieth century.
Rahim Zullah, though born in the foreign land of Fiji, is not so foreign to Indian Classical music. Coming from a family of Indian music lovers, Rahim has given several solo and group performances through local and international multicultural festivals and concerts, cleverly using his voiceto share his rich heritage and culture.
Tickets are sold at $16 full price - concession and member discounts available. For bookings, phone BEMAC on (07) 3391 4433.
Brisbane Multicultural Arts Centre is a non-profit organisation working to foster cultural diversity through and within the arts.

OKA - A fusion of Organic World Sounds
Saturday 30th Sept 7pm – 11pm
Tallebudgera Valley Community Centre
Australian band Oka have been together since 2002 and their music has progressed as quickly as their grass roots following.
In 2002 they started out with their debut album ‘Elements’, a soulfully rhythmic ode to chilled beats and luscious melodies overlaying the Yidaki (didgeridoo) at its heart. Then in 2003 they followed it up with ‘One Talk’, a more eclectic album traditionally and progressively. Now they’re touring on the back of their funkiest LP, ‘Music Makes Me Happy’.
Since its release Music Makes Me Happy has become the peoples choice. Tested on their tour of Canada in 2005, it’s now seeing Triple J airplay, Rage coverage and a groundswell of Australian support on the back of a successful summer festival stint including, Woodford Folk Festival, Bellingen Global Carnival, Joyfest, Surfing The Coldstream, and Exodus.
“Music Makes Me Happy” has its roots on the road. Recorded and mixed in various locales around their Sunshine Coast base, the guys went where it felt right. This included Stu’s Island Time Gallery or his home studio and the back of Chris’ Kombi camper, overlooking various surf breaks. The final mix done while watching the waves of the Pacific hit the coast.
DidgeriStu, Matt Aitchison and Chris Lane are Oka. Stu brings to the mix his Islander Aboriginal culture, the Yidaki/didgeridoo, and his love of decks and beats, Matt, his passion for drumming and nightclub keys and Chris his Eastern travels, flutes, sax and slide guitar. The fusion created pushes musical boundaries, and what happens on the night will rock your body and move your soul for sure.

OKA - A fusion of Organic World Sounds
Saturday 30th Sept 7pm – 11pm
Tallebudgera Valley Community Centre
Australian band Oka have been together since 2002 and their music has progressed as quickly as their grass roots following.
In 2002 they started out with their debut album ‘Elements’, a soulfully rhythmic ode to chilled beats and luscious melodies overlaying the Yidaki (didgeridoo) at its heart. Then in 2003 they followed it up with ‘One Talk’, a more eclectic album traditionally and progressively. Now they’re touring on the back of their funkiest LP, ‘Music Makes Me Happy’.
Since its release Music Makes Me Happy has become the peoples choice. Tested on their tour of Canada in 2005, it’s now seeing Triple J airplay, Rage coverage and a groundswell of Australian support on the back of a successful summer festival stint including, Woodford Folk Festival, Bellingen Global Carnival, Joyfest, Surfing The Coldstream, and Exodus.
“Music Makes Me Happy” has its roots on the road. Recorded and mixed in various locales around their Sunshine Coast base, the guys went where it felt right. This included Stu’s Island Time Gallery or his home studio and the back of Chris’ Kombi camper, overlooking various surf breaks. The final mix done while watching the waves of the Pacific hit the coast.
DidgeriStu, Matt Aitchison and Chris Lane are Oka. Stu brings to the mix his Islander Aboriginal culture, the Yidaki/didgeridoo, and his love of decks and beats, Matt, his passion for drumming and nightclub keys and Chris his Eastern travels, flutes, sax and slide guitar. The fusion created pushes musical boundaries, and what happens on the night will rock your body and move your soul for sure.

Sat 30 Sep Maleny - Peru the Singing Woman Women’s Ecstatic Healing Chants Workshop
Posted on behalf of The Art of Mother Earth...
The Art of Mother Earth proudly presents:-
Peru the Singing Woman Women’s Ecstatic Healing Chants Workshop. $50.00
Saturday 30 September WorldView Centre, Maleny Montville Road, Maleny 630pm - 1000pm
Workshop for Women -
This workshop is to teach women to open the voice and the whole body to The Earth Spirit through sacred and ancient women’s chants; to breathe and sing into a deep state of union or love making with The Earth. Peru is a New Zealand based Performer/Teacher. Although originally trained in Jazz her deep commitment and apprenticing a native elder, brought her into the songs of the mother and opened her to the voice of the earth.
No previous singing experience required.
Reservations are essential:- Telephone: 0754 999 579 or Email maleny@tpg.com.au
Please pass onto any likeminded friends who you think would appreciate an evening with this very talented woman.
Peruquois Frances has a talent for singing. It was this talent that would take her to the forefront of the Sydney Jazz scene.
Yet she became weary of singing about the struggles and sadness of the human spirit and wanted to heal the people's pain instead of just singing about it.
She then met her teacher, a traditional Native American Elder John Twobirds who taught her to awaken her ancestral memory and the ancient ways of earth singing and chanting. She studied and travelled the world with him for 10 years
New Mexico became a spiritual home for her because it was there she truly learned to listen to the song of the land. The "Vision Quest" ceremony in the Apache mountains led her to deepen her connection with the earth mother and source her sound, resonance and chants.
She was shown the importance music plays in bringing people together, for entertainment, but also for healing and as a vital part in the rituals and ceremonies. Keeping alive the history and stories of the earth and humanity.
Peru holds a deep love of creation and opens the voice and the whole body to The Earth Spirit through sacred and ancient women’s chants; breathing and singing into a deep state of union with the Earth. Layers of ancient chants sung in "the mother tongue" - the original language once spoken by all the Earth.
This music touches your mind, opens your heart and feeds your spirit. Songs and chants beautifully sung for the people, for creation and for the earth
Kind regards

Sat 26 Aug West End - Pulse feat. Tribalicious & Papasa
Posted on behalf of Talkin' the Drum...
Pulse
This Pulse is a powerful coming together of the two African dance troupes in Brisbane! This is a Pulse not to be missed!
Talkin' the Drum takes great pleasure in presenting:
Papasa
Papasa is an exciting blend of dance, rhythm & soul of 3 quite diverse African traditions – Ghana, Kenya & Ethiopia. Formed by Ghanaian drummer & dancer Nii Armah & Kenyan singer & dancer Sam Okoth, this African group has a rare & earthy African feel. Musically & in dance, Papasa has a broad dynamic range - from the gentle & soulful syncopated rhythms of the Kenyan ‘Nyatiti’ to the explosive poly-rhythms of Ghana.
Tribalicious
Tribalicious is a fantastically vibrant 11-piece African drum & dance troupe. They perform the full power rhythms & dances of West Africa with such exuberance that you’ll find the word ‘Tribalicious’ as the Oxford dictionary definition for ‘high energy’!! Backed up by a totally rocking rhythm section the Tribalicious dancers capture the attention of any audience, leaving them enlivened and inspired.
This Pulse Tribalicious & Papasa weave together their individual dances & songs, as well as performing as one big fantastic mega-group, strengthening the healthy bonds existing within the Brisbane African drum & dance community. And for all you crazy dancers out there, have no fear, there will be plenty of pumping music dedicated to your dancing feet!!
Zormiwasa
African rhythms by many hands! The night opens at 8pm with an exciting performance by many positive people working with Elliott on a rhythm called Abodan that they are developing to perform at the Trails of Light parade presented by Woodford Theatre Company on Sept 24th Currumbin Beach.
Saturday Aug 26th
Doors open 7pm
$18 and $15 conc.
Fine food available and bar.
@ The Drum, South’s Leagues Club

Sat 26 Aug Tallebudgera - Sacred Earth
Posted on behalf of Ken Jacob Promotions...
Hi Friends,
What a journey it has been, it's 9 months since my last event "Joyfest" sent me bankrupt and I have learnt so much. One of those learnings has been to never lose sight of your dream. I still hold strong to help bring community together through beautiful music and for those of you who have had the pleasure to experience Sacred Earth's blissful music you will know what this means.
This event is being held at a delightful venue which only has seating for 200 people so you will need to get your tickets early to be assured a seat. Pre Sale tickets $15 + bf are only available on line through MOSHTIX www.moshtix.com.au . Children (under 15 free) will be able to sit up front on the floor so bring blankets and pillows as it gets chilly in the Valley at night.
I hope to see you there as we continue to strengthen community spirit.
Keep Smilin!
Ken Jacob
