Welcome to a Perfection Free Zone !!!
I'm the founder and artistic director of THE NOAH PROJECT, a men's ritual/performance group in the San Francisco Bay area. For over fifteen years we have used chant, song, poetry and group movement to joyfully participate in the sorrows of the world. THE NOAH PROJECT is open to all men of good will who like to sing.
We happily include women in our circles around the Winter Solstice, Valentines Day,and "Just Because It's June!"
We take inspiration from a poem of Rumi that says, "Start a large, foolish project like Noah. It makes absolutely no difference what people think of you."
IN BEAUTY IT'S BEGUN, DOUG PS Oh, yes. I do this site myself.
I teach in the wise fool tradition, taking what I do seriously...but not myself. I use the arts of music and spoken word to seed and nourish circles of love, harmony and beauty in community around the world.
