Singing to the River is a sonic meditation set by the banks of the Brisbane River at Newstead Park.

This ritual musical experience will be led by Indian fusion singer, yoga & meditation teacher Menaka and supported by First Nations artist and didgeridoo player Glenn Barry, percussionist Tsoof Barras and keyboard player Meg Burstow. (See the artist profiles on our website.)

The program will include guided meditations, sound healing and group chanting. A spiritually inspiring experience for all ages, Singing to the River is an interactive and uplifting program designed to support harmony and belonging.

This event will be held at the rotunda, lower level, southern side of Newstead Park near Newstead Avenue.

Please bring your own cushion, rug or chair.
