An Avalon Anthem

12/15/2016

1 Comment

 
This song is a collective effort by several people and we offer it in the spirit of uniting our hearts and voices, sharing and celebrating together the healing, love, beauty and belonging of our very own special Glastonbury community.
The development of the Anthem. . . 

The inspiration behind the Anthem was to create a community song that reflected the beauty and spirituality of Glastonbury, a song that could serve to bring our community together. A song through which we can all express the many gifts we can offer to  the world and brings us all together in our community activities, our festivals, our schools and in our everyday lives.
 

Dr Lynne Sedgmore CBE has been coming to Glastonbury as a pilgrim since 1989, got married here in 1994 and moved here in 2010. So when Morgana West, co-founder and manager at Glastonbury Pilgrim Reception, had a powerful dream about creating a new song for Glastonbury and asked her to produce the lyrics, she felt deeply called to do so.

Both Morgana and Ananda O'Kelly helped to further develop the words. The music took longer via a classical version, then a guitar version until its culmination into a  beautiful choral score written by Sally Pullinger for the Avalonian Free State Choir.

 The Architecture of the Soul

We are very proud to be working with the great folks of the Silent Eye School and honoured to be bringing their work into Glastonbury. The great thing is that they feel to be learning as much as we are so we reckon that's a pretty good trade-off! 

Their next talk is on Thursday the 7th August, in the Avalon Room at 7.30pm and entitled - The Architecture of the Soul: approaching the mystery together. 

The evening will be largely unscripted and will rely on interaction between us all to produce a rich and personal experience.

The word 'Soul' has been used in many ways since the Greeks laid the foundations for Western Civilisation.  Use of the word Soul generally donotes a personal vehicle of the self.  But which self? Is my sense of "me-ness" myself?  What about the personality - where does that fit into a picture of the Soul?  And what about psychology's Ego, does that form a part of the overall picture?

In this talk the Silent Eye School depart from their usual style of presentation, laying out the room in a ritualistic pattern of four quadrants. Movement between each of these, by us all, will be used to illustrate the sense of self and its relationship to that which goes beyond the ordinary psyche and strives to link us out from the world of Becoming to the inner world of Being.

The presenters have long pedigrees in the Western Mystery Traditions and you can find out more about them here. . .
