1:00-2:15pm ET

The traditional Tibetan Chö ceremony combines sacred song, ritual instruments, and chanting to purify the five elements which compose the body and mind. It is an approach for clearing the deeper causes of illness believed to be psychological and karmic.

It can be used to resolve stubborn obstacles, either energetic or ancestral, that are difficult to access or unresponsive to other therapies. While resolving these influences, it improves health and generates refreshed spiritual consciousness.

Traditionally, Chö rituals have been offered to achieve numerous purposes:

• severing attachments which hinder our ability to perceive clearly and live freely
• clearing obstacles that impede spiritual progress
• pacifying afflictive emotions
• balancing the five elements that dictate health in the body
• practicing generosity and compassion
• harmonizing land spirits
• supplicating beneficent deities for blessings

While Chö is a Vajrayana Buddhist ritual, you need not be Buddhist to attend, nor will you have to chant in Tibetan. It is helpful to set an intention to direct the focus of the ceremony but otherwise nothing is required of guests but to relax and receive. After participating, most feel light, uplifted and refreshed.

A COLLECTIVE FOR THE DYING AND THEIR LOVED ONES

Traditionally deathcare was offered in community. It is also one of the ways in which community is formed. Before dying became a medicalized event and before embalming practices and funerals became an industry, we cared for our own. We knew our loved ones' wishes and carried them out with the support of our network. Final acts of care were carried out by loving hands, not outsourced to professionals. This contact and presence with the reality of death affected the way we grieved and also how we experienced our own mortality. Facing the inevitability of one of life's most powerful passages with community empowered us to live more fully.

If you have any desire to be of service at end of life in any capacity (healing arts, doula, legal, music, green burial etc) please join our collective!

We meet at Ripple:

701 East Bay Street Suite 121

GPS will direct you to the main Mercantile & Mash lot; we are located in the lot behind Rappahannock Oyster Bar, on the corner of East Bay and Blake Street. East Bay facing side. Parking lot is monitored but not so much on weekends.

The specific way in which organisms of a particular species perceive and experience the world, shaped by the capabilities of their sensory organs and perceptual systems.

Visceral, intuitive, loosening our grip on edges...

Join us for a special experience as Rosy Keyser's works spark dissolution of limited, individual perception.

The Heat Synth was an invention born of a need and a search- a studio process that demanded more specific conditions that would get closer to reenacting the immediacy of nature. Canvas is fed under a guide, across a hot steel surface, and then again under an exit guide. I can work into a ‘live’ surface while the wax ground is fluid and open. Sometimes there is an underpainting whose edges are asked to play (recalibrate) with the new, more fluid forms and gestures. This process happens in a specific time frame, before the surface cools and settles, and allows actions to play out in the heat of the moment. These actions may be, but not limited to, painted marks, printed forms, dragged zones, and removals. There is an ‘all-at-onceness’, an embrace of chance image-making, and a fostering of conditions that are unpredictably beautiful and impossible to fully control. The intentions that I bring to the process are very much embodied as there is no time to overthink. This process harnesses a learned capacity to move through chaos with buoyancy, provisionally, a skill acquired in childhood amidst circumstances of loss and uncertainty. Additionally, the materials (oils, wax, resins) respond with their own wills. And this ‘battle of lovers’ (1. James Baldwin) plays out on a number of different surfaces or fields that also have their own natures. The canvas is rendered more transparent, more responsive, more synthesized.

The Chö ceremony, with its goal of ‘cutting’ that which is hindering our achievement of liberation is very much related to the thesis of ultraUMWELT. In the spirit of establishing an expanded Umwelt, we elect to share our edges, and meet in a sort of ‘sensory commons’. The Chö, through an array of visualizations, song, music, and prayer, helps compel an understanding of indivisibility of self and others. It encourages a letting go vis à vis an offering of the body and the spirit. These paintings reveal shared fields of energy, diffuse edges, and forms that come and go through reversals, reoccurrences, temporal conditions, and synchronicities. -Rosy Keyser

The ceremony utilizes drumming, chanting and sacred song to generate a path of healing for an individual's most stubborn blockages and obstacles. Guests are invited to set an intention to direct the ceremony’s personal focus and relax while it takes place. Please bring a mat to lie/sit on and arrive a few minutes early to get comfortable. This month we will be at Healing Oasis taking advantage of the scalar wave healing frequencies during the ceremony!
