NEWS | LEONARD CROW DOG & FREEDOM


A Special Program in Portland on May 21, 2009

On Thursday, May 21, we'll have a special two part program: a talk by Leonard Crow Dog, followed by a concert with Freedom. (No meditation program this evening.)


LEONARD CROW DOG

The evening will open with a talk by Leonard Crow Dog, a traditional Chief of the Lakota Nation and a recognized spiritual leader, intercessor and healer. He was the spiritual adviser to the American Indian Movement during the siege at Wounded Knee in 1973 and has played a significant role throughout his life in protecting and reviving sacred ceremonies such as the sundance, vision quest, and sweat lodge. A visionary who welcomes spiritual people of all races, Chief Crow Dog has been a tireless advocate for human rights, peace and justice for Native people.

In this rare appearance in the Northwest, Chief Crow Dog will share his reflections on the state of the universe and the role of the sacred human being in these pivotal times. Read more about Leonard Crow Dog.

FREEDOM

After Leonard Crow Dog's talk, join us for a concert by Freedom, a singer songwriter from the Northwest. His music is well known in many circles along the West Coast and is gaining worldwide appreciation. He has toured extensively for several years. His visionary lyrics, soulful melodies and world rhythms merge to create a sound that is powerful as it is mystic.

Freedom has been billed with musicians as diverse as Stevie Wonder, the David Grisman Quintet, Spearhead, String Cheese Incident, Steve Kimock, Scott Huckabay, Burning Spear, Lost at Last, Hamsa Lila, Rafe Pearlman, Jah Levi, Hanuman, and Flowmotion.

Listen to samples of Freedom's music.
