Earth Day concert at novitiate in Godfrey

 

Jan Novotka, eco-spirituality singer and songwriter, entertained over 70 people at La Vista Ecological Center on Earth Day in an outdoor concert. Jan sings of the sacredness and oneness of all, care for Earth, and the Still Silent Presence within.

 

Perfect weather combined with the spiritually moving music to create an awesome Earth Day celebration. Novices from the Godfrey Novitiate “... accompanied her at times on the drums and shakers......they were in awe!” reported Maurice Lange, OMI, Director of the Oblate Ecological Initiative.

 

“We had over 70 folks in the bowl (near the flowerbeds) and all just loved the concert.  Many folks attended from the Alton group of United Congregations of Metro East.  We had a reception on the bluffs afterward and many folks purchased Jan's CD's."
