MUSICAL MEDITATIONS
If all the religions of the world have used music to guide their believers towards a greater faith, many testimonies report internal experiences outside these traditional ways, and presenting strong similarities with religious spiritual states. It is in this a-religious setting that you will explore every day a form of meditation, based on various repertoires: sacred music of Hinduism and Buddhism, Gregorian chant, sacred polyphonies of the Renaissance, modal jazz and contemporary music… A spiritual practice which is not anchored in any confession or pre-established belief.
