Aqus Celtic/Irish Music Session
/0 Comments/in Aqus Cafe, Music /by adminPlayers Always Welcome
We have created an authentic traditional pub seisiun in Petaluma where seisiun-seekers can hear or play “comhaltas ceoltoiri” level traditional music in our area. All interested players of Irish music welcome.
Once the seisiun players can get themselves started, all others can browse ways to learn Irish playing by ear.
While at Aqus, you can get our O’Petaluma Playlist — the 39 the most-played Irish tunes of local Bay Area seisiuns. Irish singers may offer to join future seisiun evenings, within the trad seisiun norms.
Some video of the player in Aqus
The “O’Petaluma Playlist”
These traditional jigs, reels, hornpipes and airs are the ones found most-often-listed on playlists around northern California, and probably the ones most trad Irish musicians hereabouts can play.
So these are good for starters.— either to learn or to get into familiar playing territory

Introduction to Buddhist Tantra: The Quickest Path to Enlightenment
/in Education, Featured Event /by Mahakaruna Buddhist CenterBuddha’s Tantric teachings lead us to an inner realization that will purify our mind, ourself, and all of our experiences, freeing us from daily problems. Using the power of imagination, we can learn to perceive ourselves and the world in a profoundly helpful and joyful way. Buddha taught the mind has the power to create our world. Using Tantric meditation, we can create a world of bliss and freedom that we can then share with the people around us. Our union of great bliss and wisdom will quickly purify the root of all our suffering and transform us into an enlightened person.
