Seattle's WORLD MEDITATION ENSEMBLE is an imaginative and respectful tribute to traditions and culture worldwide. The all-volunteer organization promotes peace with cohesive celebration of the commonality of human spirit. Programs and activities are based on the premise that compassionate global community is possible.
Our recordings create funding for American Red Cross Disaster Relief Fund, SEVA (Sanskrit for "Service") Foundation, which trains midwives, saves the sight of children, and more for Native Americans, and those in Guatemala, Mexico, Nepal, India, Bangladesh, Cambodia, Tanzania, and Tibet.
Excerpt from the World Meditation Ensemble Mission Statement:
"We collaborate in partnerships to perform, document and teach sacred and meditational music from around the world. We work towards ending needless suffering, forging solutions with others that are sustainable and which honor local cultures and traditions.
|
"We move with the wisdom of communities who know what is needed to preserve their dignity, health and traditions. The heart of compassion links us in service to each other."
