Sing4All on iRadio - with guests Anne Krill, Diane Wittner and Tami Simon

The Pulse of the Times - Affecting Social Change Through Singing Activism

2pm PT/5pm ET on http://www.modavox.com/voiceamerica/vshow.aspx?sid=1626

With my guests, Anne Krill and Diane Wittner we will explore the topic of using singing powerfully in activist movements – past and present. Anne was a part of activist movements in the 60’s, 70’s and 80’s where singing was used to unify the spirit of the activists and create strength and solidarity.

Diane’s approach is different in that it seeks to get ideas through into the halls of power by the “Trojan Horse” of using humor in songs. Diane Wittner’s work can be accessed at: http://www.facebook.com/l/fa281;chesapeakecitizens.org/

I will also have a special interview with Tami Simon, the founder and publisher of Sounds True, a 23-year-old multimedia publishing company dedicated to disseminating spiritual wisdom. She is a founding member of the Integral Institute, a member of the Social Venture Network, a Dharma Ocean Foundation board member, and a meditation instructor under the guidance of Dharma Ocean director Reggie Ray, who carries on the lineage of Tibetan Buddhist teacher Chögyam Trungpa Rinpoche.
