I'd like to personally invite you to the "h'Art Opening" fundraiser on Friday (March 21) at the Transcendent Church of Bass. March 21 is a very auspicious day – it is full moon, Spring Equinox, first day of Aries, and also an important day in many spiritual traditions (Good Friday, Purim, Nawruz etc.) A perfect day for opening our hearts!
Feedback on February 15 h’Art Opening:
Before I continue I’d like to express my gratitude to everyone that volunteered as well as the 300 of you that attended the first h’Art Opening on February 15 – it was a beautiful event! And thank you for all your feedback – it’s great to hear about your heart-opening experiences. Success is not measured by money, but we did raise $1,424 for the insurance fund, as well as $475 for Burners without Borders. Thank you for that.
Intention:
The intention with h’Art Opening is to co-create an environment that celebrates our artists, and fosters a deeper level of interaction between people - more of a personal heart-connection. “Hi, how are you” is great, but we believe that strong community is built on a deeper level. Our vision is to create sacred space for people to gather; space that promotes heart opening through music, art, performance, décor, lighting, and great conversation. The upstairs will have a loungy feel that is soft, sensual, and dreamy, an invitation to the feminine side of the music/art scene. The downstairs space will balance the energy with a more masculine, warehouse feel, and feature heavier dance beats. A simple quick opening and closing will seal the space, and bring us together with intention.
Hours, cover, and gifting:
It’s an early party that goes late – we’re opening doors at 7:20pm for the first part of the evening. (20 after the hour is the key to identifying our events) The first couple of hours will be more along the lines of a traditional Art Opening where we can meet artists and friends over a glass of wine, get a chance to catch up on conversations and so forth. We’re asking you to please come early - there will be a reduced cover of $5 until 9pm, and $10 thereafter. 25% of the door money raised at this month’s event will be gifted to our neighbor Cityteam (www.cityteam.org/seattle/) for the construction of a trash and recycling enclosure on their property.
Call for artists, musicians, and volunteers:
If you’re an artist and are interested in showing your work at this month’s or a future h’Art Opening, please send us an e-mail with a brief bio to art@churchofbass.org
If you’re a musician or DJ and would like to perform at this month’s or a future h’Art Opening, please send an e-mail with a brief bio to music@churchofbass.org
If you’re a performer and would like to perform at this month’s or a future h’Art Opening, please send an e-mail with a brief bio to perform@churchofbass.org
If you have ideas or suggestions for activities we can incorporate into this month’s or a future h’Art Opening, please e-mail us at activities@churchofbass.com
It takes many volunteers to bring this together, and we’d appreciate help, especially volunteers during the event. Here are a few categories, and corresponding e-mail address to use.
If you’d like to volunteer at our alcoholic or non-alcoholic bar we’d love to hear from you – please send an e-mail to beverage@churchofbass.org, and please also let us know whether you have a class 12 license.
If you’d like to help as a greeter at the door during the event – please send an e-mail to greeter@churchofbass.org
If you’d like to volunteer to help with anything else, including setup or cleanup, please send an e-mail to volunteer@churchofbass.org
Musical Lineup and Art:
We’re still finalizing the music and artists for this month’s h’Art Opening, and will send out more details in the reminder e-mail next week. I can assure you that it’s going to be world-class! We’ll be offering journeys during h-Art Opening in Louisa’s innovative “Sonosphere” - check it out at www.thesonosphere.com/. There is also going to be lots of opportunity to interact and create your own art. And get ready for the Supernatural Trickster Brigade!
Beverages:
We’ve decided to only serve red wine this time, and only between the hours of 7:20 and 9:20. We would like to share the rational with you: The serving of alcohol requires the most volunteers during the event, particularly class 12 bartenders. Add to that the fact that a total of 400 drinks was served to 300 people at the first h’Art Opening! That’s a little more than one drink per person. So it really seems like this is not a drinking crowd, and not serving alcohol after the “art opening” segment seems to make sense. We plan to have a variety of interesting non-alcoholic beverages available, including kava-kava, kombucha, chai, herbal teas, elixirs, tinctures, and juices.
Other activities at the Church of Bass:
We are offering a number of interesting regular and special events. Here are a few to keep in mind:
Dance Church: Come and join us for ecstatic free style dancing to killer DJ’s every 1st and 3rd Wednesday from 7:20pm – 10:20pm. For more information please visit our tribe page at tribes.tribe.net/dancechurchseattle
Isochronic and Binaural Brain Entrainment: We’re using current and developing technology to access different levels of consciousness to the point of familiarity and self direction. The concurrent aim is navigating the potential of group access to the collective conscious and its effects. Binaural Beats are way of using sounds to entrain the mind to altered states of consciousness. Check us out tribes.tribe.net/psychesonics You can read a lot more at en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Binaural_beats
We’re very excited about hosting Communiversity here on March 22. Communiversity is an all day experiential learning event and community potluck featuring some of our community’s brilliant minds and biggest hearts. A day of creativity, interactivity, healing and consciousness expansion. Throughout the day you will learn about Mind Machines, binaural beats, plant alchemy, gemstone therapy, acupuncture, grassroots city planning, Gaian studies, magik circles, Damanhur Italy, sacred toning, hands on mask making, raw food goodies, and the Sonosphere.
Before I sign off I’d like to let you know that I’m still feeling my way around the many exciting opportunities to use my space to foster the kind of community that we love, so please consider it a work in progress…. I’d also like to express my sincere appreciation to the h’Art team: Nina, Alisha, Heather, Isaac, Jael, Tatriel, Freewil, Eva, Lola, Chris, Nathan, Indigo, and each of you for all your love, encouragement, and enthusiasm. Thank you for co-creating all of this with me.
“h’Art Opening” is an event for you, about you, and with you. Without you there would be no “h’Art Opening”. I’d like to invite you to personally invite your friends, but please DO NOT POST on lists. And PLEASE INCLUDE this lengthy e-mail as well as the attached e-flyer with each invitation. :-)
Love, light, and gratitude,
Hendrik
