“Join Hogfish, Friends of Fort Gorges, and the Wild Seed Project for an event like no other this summer.

Beauty is often one of the first invitations to connect. How could the beauty of a summer afternoon in Aucocisco, on modern day Fort Gorges, with gorgeous meditative indigenous and non-indigenous collaborative music weaving in the sounds of nearby plants, while receiving gentle hands-on-healing help you to connect? What would happen if we all took a moment together to allow our eardrums and our hearts to be moved by the beauty of the sound of all living beings coming together to make a whole that is greater than the sum of its parts? How can we re-sound history in a place like Fort Gorges for a better future?

Enjoy a boat ride across Aucocisco, present day Casco Bay, and quickly arrive at Fort Gorges. Stroll into the courtyard, put down a yoga mat or picnic blanket or sit in the grass, and invite yourself to listen to the ocean waves and call of the birds, while hands-on-healers offer their assistance to leave your cares behind and enter the presence of the sensory world. The musical offerings will begin with Hogfish artist-in-residence and Wabanaki singer and dancer Isaac Syliboy who will be joined by Hogfish artist-in-residence and composer/bassist Evan Premo for 40 minutes of instrumental loop-based improvisation for meditation and deep listening, where Evan weaves in music produced live from the electrical impulses of native plants selected by the Wild Seed Project.

At the end of the meditation, spend time exploring the island on your own or on a guided tour, go for a swim, or continue to listen to the reverberations in the space and in your soul.”
