Roop Verma, internationally respected sitarist, composer and accomplished teacher of Indian classical and sacred music, will ponder various forms of ‘energy’ and explore a deeper understanding of energy as a process of ‘self inquiry.’ Some forms of energy are familiar to us: solar, wind, water, fossil fuel and gas. Roop will discuss additional forms of energy that nourish and soothe us on the deeper levels and direct us from the mundane to more sublime parts of our being, such as loving someone unconditionally or experiencing art, music or poetry. Finally he will discuss the energy often spoken of by the religions of
the world, such as compassion found through silence or meditation that can be experienced and directed into our ‘mind-body’ processes.
