Enchanting and Ethereal
The Role of the Harp in Spiritual Music
Featuring Rhett Barnwell and Robbin Gordon-Cartier
The harp has long been revered as a spiritual instrument, its ethereal tones symbolizing harmony between the earthly and the divine. Used in healing, meditation, and sacred traditions around the world, the harp’s gentle resonance opens the heart, calms the mind, and invites deep spiritual reflection. From yoga classes to hospital settings, the harp is becoming an integral part of self-care and wellness practices. Join Rhett and Robbin as they share their expertise and give us a glimpse of their upcoming Atlanta Harp Center Festival Sunday Morning Meditation and Sacred Music class.
And remember to sign in early for a pre-talk with Robbin and MJ!
