Symphony of Serenity with Kennedy OneSelf – Saturday, March 12, 2 to 3:30 p.m.
A profoundly potent symphonic orchestration of acoustic vibration that guides the listener to the inner stillness where lasting peace resides.
This is a sound healing like nothing you’ve ever experienced. Kennedy weaves vibrations so fluidly people often imagine he has six arms. Come be bathed in the sounds of Didgeridoos, Handpan, Asian Harp(Guzheng), crystal & Tibetan singing bowls, Gongs, Flutes(Chinese, Indian, American, Harmony, Drone), Shruti Box, bells, Kalimba, Unity Harp and more.
Participants in this voyage through vibration simply lie down and relax. When we listen with conscious alertness, simply noticing the melodically pulsating conversation of harmonic frequencies, we can experience a deep serenity that lingers long after the last sound. These sonic symphonies are designed to be a foundation for our journey towards greater wellness of spirit.
Kennedy OneSelf is an avid student and charismatic instructor of meditation, a phenomenal musician as well as a didgeridoo craftsman, unity harp builder. After years of trying to spread peace, he realized that the best way is simply to be peaceful. Along the journey to deepen his consciousness, serene meditative music became his greatest passion.

Creation Prayer received by Ariel Marsh
On arising each day, the words flow through me – – may I walk through this
day in wisdom, understanding, humility and courage as I pray:
I create Good, constantly and consistently on all levels and all dimensions
and to all kingdoms all of the time.
Whether I am awake or asleep I am creating Divine Light, Life, Love and
Good to everyone and everything in the earth and the cosmos.
I am a living Prayer creating the new Heaven and the new earth
within everyone and All That Is. And everyone I come in contact
with is changed to Divine Light and Good.
I am in constant Prayer for all nations and all leaders to be changed
to Divine Light, Life, Love and Good – and the entire cosmos works in
concert to Create more Light and more Good than there was in the
beginning.
And I create more Light and more Good in the Creator,
and we thank the Divine for making it so. Amen.
