Peace Bowl

I photographed the International Sound Therapy Association’s Peace Bowl at the Unitarian Universalist Congregation of Atlanta on Saturday, November 12, 2011. The Peace Bowl brought together musicians and sound therapists as they performed a two and a half hour concert involving singing bowls, piano, Native American flutes and singing as well as drums and gongs. Close to 150 people came out to listen during the event. These are some of my favorite images.
