Metta Grove is a cinematic visionary art concert with roots in guided meditation, psychedelic experience, and community connections.
Metta - derived from the Pali language, an ancient tongue composed of Buddhist scriptures. The following can be attributed; loving-kindness, friendliness, goodwill, benevolence, fellowship, non-violence, and an active interest in others.
Grove - a small wood, orchard, or group of trees.
Simon Haiduk is a multimedia artist working with several visual art and sonic mediums with themes that have an emphasis on nature and metaphysical energy. With over fifteen years of thematic creativity, he has found a synthesis of his expressions, fusing them into a cinematic audiovisual concert.
This concert features stunning visuals of Simon’s digital paintings transformed into animations. These animations are woven with layers of light and sound in a live performance, generating a unique synchronous expression. The soundtrack is a dynamic range of Simon's ambient music, with heartwarming melodies, and pulsing rhythms from other world-class musicians with whom he has collaborated.
Metta Grove is a meditation on our intrinsic connection to nature and the foundations of this reality as light and sound.
The guided journey is tailored to help you find inner peace, and connect with the natural world around you. Whether you're new to meditation or a seasoned practitioner, you'll find something of value at this concert.
It is intentionally designed for presentation in group settings to feel a sense of unity and connection with others. These settings might include ceremonial, plant medicine or meditative spaces though it is also suitable for any media viewing container and appropriate for almost all ages.
