Wendy Haynes Connor interviews guest artists Mary Sutton and Judith Shotwell about their lives in theatre with Meher Baba, and we preview the week ahead. Then — as Baba, the mandali, and visitors so often enjoyed — we close the evening with Charades!
Meher Abode (also known simply as “Baba’s House”) is the private residence built for Meher Baba where He stayed during His three visits to the Center. Guests are welcome to visit the house, and to remember Him in the intimate atmosphere of His home.
We already have the actor’s tools —breath, body, and voice. Let’s use them more fully, freely and playfully — attending to the moment, in group or solo. Easy peasy.
Meher Baba loved music, and musicians from across India and around the world came to perform for Him. Now, at the Meher Center, musicians perform for Baba two nights per week in the intimate setting of the Meher Center Reading Room. At these gatherings, both out-of-town guests and nearby community members come together to listen...
Join us, or just watch. Mary shares the story of a walk with Eruch that turned her artistic path. Then, together: explore trust and listening the actor’s way. No worry, — no experience necessary.
A break for tea in between the 1 - 3 pm and 4 - 5 pm Artists in Residence programs.
Journey into the mysterious realms where music, humor, grief, death, love and beauty intersect. “A much needed poke to the heart.” Written and performed by Judith Shotwell. 45 minute video, with optional Q&A.
Going further with improvised collaborating. Introducing elements of text, song, prayer—going to where our choices take us. Easy peasy on a whole ‘nother level (and fun!)
Meher Baba Q & A is an informal opportunity to ask questions about Meher Baba, His life, work, philosophy and more. It is hosted by a volunteer Baba follower who meets and greets new and returning retreat guests in the intimate setting of the Original Kitchen. The OK was chosen because Meher Baba Himself walked through...
We all carry ‘that’ voice — the one that chatters to Baba, telling Him the silly everyday stuff. We’ll explore that: a funny complaint, a ridiculous worry, something you’d only admit to Him. We begin with prompts, listen for our whimsy, and share a laugh at our commonalities.
