The Center, Life in Balance, in Medford, will a Harvest Moon Celebration from 7 to 8:15 p.m., September 16. Kristy McAdams will be on-hand, offering the sacred, celestial sounds of the crystal singing bowls and Michael Gibbs will play the grounding, earthy sounds of the didgeridoo, native flute and drum.

The energy of a full moon provides a powerful time for tapping into abundance, manifesting and enlightenment. The harvest moon denotes a lunar phase of extra moonlight and is a time for preparing for the future, being with family, completing projects and expressions of the self through music and dance.

“The power of sound is a phrase that may get tossed around lightly but sound waves have a healing depth that is often overlooked,” explains McAdams. “Singing releases stress, a newborn’s first cry declares its arrival into the world and the sound of ‘om’ chanted repetitively has the power to calm the mind. Musical instruments like the crystal bowls, didgeridoo and drums help facilitate good vibrations in the body, which translate to a healthier mind, body and spirit.”
