Event Description: Throughout the ages and across cultures, prayer through song and simple body movement has been a powerful vehicle for connecting with the Divine. ONE LOVE weaves together ancient and contemporary prayer songs and chants from a rainbow of spiritual traditions and practices, including Hindu Kirtan, Sufi Zikr, earth-based religions, Judaism, Buddhism, Christianity, and more.

The band, led by singer-songwriter and New Seminary Graduate, Jody Kessler, describes their unique program as an "interfaith devotional chanting experience." They emphasize the word "experience" because they present their work not as a performance, but rather as a participatory co-creation, as they invite the audience to join in with singing and prayerful movement. ONE LOVE also features Doug Shire on keyboard & harmonium, Kristin Sharkey on percussion, vocals, & keyboard, and Joe Smellow on percussion & an array of flutes, didgeridoo & more.

Tickets: $20.00 GENERAL ADMISSION (In Advance), $25.00 AT THE DOOR, $15.00 W/VALID STUDENT ID
