1.) To promote lasting friendships between people living in communities around the world.
- “Tikkun” is a Hebrew word that means to fix, repair and heal. Tikkun begins with the individual. We believe, in fact we have proven, that when you meet someone face-to-face, people-to-people, lasting connections and friendships are created. Reaching out to communities around the world are the first steps we take towards peacemaking. The best way to predict the future is to create it. (Future Moyo) Together we break down stereotypes and barriers. We start to build bridges. We share, learn and grow. If we can find peace within ourselves we can make peace throughout the world. (Rahel)
2.) To keep and promote our culture and traditions.
- We are musicians who live in different countries around the world. We are in fact very different; culturally, traditionally, in how we speak, in the language that we use, the food we eat and in the way we live our lives. It is our differences that make us unique. We believe in celebrating our differences. It is our differences that bring us together!
3) To conduct concerts and cultural exchange workshops to learn how other communities live, their language, their food as well as their music and dances.
- A very wise woman said, “When we sing we change who we are. When we change who we are, we change the world.” (Mimi Bornstein). THE HEALING LIGHT PROJECT is about sharing with people all around the world. We share through music and dance because they are universal languages that all can understand. We offer educational workshops to learn more about each other. This is how we grow new friendships and become part of a world community. This is our way of creating a better and more peaceful world.
It is our differences that make us unique.
It is our differences that bring us together!
It is our differences that bring us together!
The Healing Light Project was co-founded by Jewish singer-songwriter, Acoustic Breezes – Rahel (Israel/USA) and Future Moyo, singer, composer and director of Amavevane Acapella, traditional African music (Zimbabwe/South Africa).
The project was launched in March 2017 in Johannesburg, South Africa when the musicians came together to share cultures, traditions, song and dance through musical collaborations. Songs were arranged, recorded and performed in a fusion of styles and languages – singing in Zulu, Hebrew and English. The collaborative activities included educational workshops in schools and community centers around South Africa.
Acoustic Breezes - Rahel, is a singer-songwriter whose music is widely acclaimed as “uplifting, intelligent, well-crafted & musically sophisticated”, shared her Jewish heritage by engaging the audience in singing a Hebrew song and learning an Israeli folk dance.
Amavevane Acapella, under the direction of Mr. Future Moyo, shares the culture and traditions of Zimbabwe including Imbube/Isicathamiya music (Acapella), Gumboot Dance (a traditional dance style of the miners), Isitshikitsha (Traditional) and Ibhiza Dance (Traditional dance practiced by the minority “Kalanga” people found in the southern parts of Zimbabwe).
