BEING HUMAN
A Communion of Poetry and Music

with Kim Rosen

at the Linenhall Arts Center, Castlebar, Co. Mayo, Ireland

Mystics, poets and shamans have always known that in the rhythms and sounds of the soul's language, the mind bursts open and levels of being come into alignment.

Join Kim for a transformative immersion in poems carried on a river of music through grief and grace, humanness and beingness, living and dying. This offering is a culmination of Kim's love of the realness, rawness and intimacy that arises when we turn towards all levels of being human. 

In this moment in history, every one of us has been touched and changed by the personal, societal and planetary struggles we are undergoing. Please join Kim in a transformative convergence of poems & music that emerge from the heartbreak, gratitude and celebration of this moment in our lives and in the life of our world. 

Our communion will include words from Langston Hughes, Ellen Bass, Marie Howe, Lucille Clifton, Mark Nepo, Stanley Kunitz, W.S. Merwin, Yehuda Amichai and Mary Oliver immersed in evocative waves of music by Jami Sieber, Gary Malkin and others. 

Tickets €12.00

“ The poems were potent, on target, heart breaking, beautiful, disruptive. This is what alive, vibrant human souls can create together… a riveting experience.”

 “Have you ever been deeply moved by a piece of music? Have you ever been captured and compelled by a word, phrase, or poem? Now for a moment imagine those experiences combined in a way that is so powerfully delivered by the artists that it transcends the physical people involved and alchemizes to create a space in which magic and miracles can and do occur.”
