To record this exceptional 1999 multi-cultural meditative chant/ Women's Spirituality collaboration, Jennifer and a group of musicians travelled to Malta, to one of the world's most ancient and important sacred goddess sites, the Hypogeum. This 3-story underground chamber was carved from stone over 6000 years ago, to honor and celebrate the Mother Goddess and her sacred cyclical mysteries of birth, death and regeneration. The oracle chamber, created with an advance understanding of acoustics, probably demonstrates that these ancient peoples recognized the healing power of sound and music. Special guests Linda Tillery, Navajo singer Sharon Burch, Qwaali singers Sukhawat Ali Khan and Riffat Salamat, Rick Lazar (Loreena McKennitt's percussionist on Mummer's Dance), and others weave elements of chant, goddess spirituality and Buddhism from a variety of cultures, evoking the lineage of ancient singing Priestesses. Highly recommended -- by us and by Olympia Dukakis, who says, 'Motherheart whispering to us from over the ages, yearning for us to know her.'
