Ani Williams

Ani Williams has been exploring the role of Mary Magdalene in the emerging feminine since 1987, and guiding women’s pilgrimages to Magdalene sites in France, Britain and Egypt.  Her research of the feminine disciples in the Gnostic texts has resulted in recordings dedicated to Magdalene and Sophia, with music and chant in Aramaic, Hebrew and Egyptian languages, incorporating ancient Middle-Eastern music scales.  Her writings on Magdalene blend history with poetic depth and she is currently co-producing a series of documentary films on Magdalene’s role in the grail mysteries.

Ani has performed internationally since 1985, in Central and South America, England, Holland, Scotland and Egypt, in such venues as Saint James Cathedral in London, Findhorn Foundation in Scotland, the Giza Pyramids, Den Rus in Amsterdam, Centro de Cultura in Mexico City, and in the United States for various conferences, including Tom Kenyon Seminars, Women of Wisdom in Seattle, Institute For Noetic Sciences, Delta Society in Atlanta, United Nations Fiftieth Anniversary in San Francisco and for the annual Conference on the Arts, Portsmouth New Hampshire.  In 2005 Ani’s Egyptian harp music was chosen for the Hatshepsut—From Queen to Pharaoh exhibit tour soundtrack at the De Young Museum in San Francisco and the Metropolitan Museum in New York.

In May 2006, the Travel Channel featured Ani’s music and presentation in Rosslyn Chapel, Scotland for a special program on the Da Vinci Code material.  For more information about Ani Williams visit www.aniwilliams.com

John Dumas

John Dumas, internationally acclaimed artist, musician, shamanic astrologer, teacher and sound healer, is an artist who creates his own flutes and didgeridoos.  He was originally inspired here in Sedona among the red rocks and on a vision quest in the mountains of Virginia.  He began creating multiple chambered flutes.  The Heart Flute of the Four Winds is one that produces four resonating sounds that open the heart space while honoring the four directions.  He has developed a unique sound therapy/healing ceremony that is titled Shamanic Journey into Dreamtime, which facilitates the healing of mind, body and spirit.  With the intention of love and compassion, John opens the doorway into an altered state of time and space, producing awakened dreaming.  For more information visit www.johndumas.com.

He also creates and plays the didgeridoo, an instrument used in sacred ceremonies by the (aboriginal) people of Australia for more than 50,000 years. The didgeridoo produces a unique vibratory resonance that mimics the sounds of nature, awakening our primordial essence. When played over the body, it is capable of unlocking cellular memory and balancing the rhythmic flow of the charkas.

John will be performing music from his four CDs, which include flute and didgeridoo music and many unique small percussion sounds.  These healing sounds are the culmination of Johns educational background in the fine arts, psychology and study of indigenous cultures.  John's performances are also permeated by his bright spirit and joyful presence.
