The Italian pianist and composer Alessandra Celletti visited the Growth Center in early spring. She gave an atmospheric concert in the Great Hall where, in addition to her own music, she played the meditative music of the Armenian mystic Gurdjieff and the contemplative compositions of the American composer Philip Glass.

Gurdjieff – der som kontroversiel spirituel lærer var aktiv i Paris i mellemkrigsårene hvor han fik mange elever – var inspireret af sufimusik og dans. Og af andre østlige, mest tibetanske traditioner. Han udviklede sin musik og koreograferede sine danse i et nært samarbejde med komponisten Thomas de Hartmann.
His music has continued to inspire practitioners ever since.

The one who lives in New York Philip Glass describes himself as 'Jewish-Taoist-Hindu-Buddhist' and has thematized spirituality and the nature of consciousness in his music throughout his life.

The concert consists of two sets and lasts just over an hour.

The session is very easy to meditate to. Which is only strengthened by the audience at Vækstcenteret also meditates with.
