Ravenna Michalsen, the Buddhist singer-songwriter whom I have interviewed here at this blog and profiled for Tricycle: The Buddhist Review, visited nearby Duke University last weekend at the invitation of the Buddhist Community at Duke. I was very pleased to be able spend some time with my old friend, get to know the vibrant community of practitioners at the university, and attend a concert offered by Ravenna in Goodson Chapel.
My mother and cousin Cilloran also came to the concert, and I was delighted to have the chance to introduce them to Ravenna and her music. If you’re not familiar with Ravenna and her work, I’d encourage you to get acquainted via her website or her Myspace page.
