Threshold by Candlelight

Threshold by Candlelight
Presented by Greater Mysteries & the Mid-Hudson Valley Threshold Choir

This candlelit, compline-inspired offering invites participants to gather in the dark to collectively tend grief and receive comfort through song. Rooted in the tradition of night prayer, the evening acknowledges the loneliness and vulnerability that can linger at the threshold between winter and spring.

Songs from the Threshold Choir’s non-denominational repertoire will be offered as a gentle act of care — not performance — providing a sonic container for listening, rest, and reflection in the reverberant church space at Tempo in Kingston, NY.

This offering creates an opportunity for community healing through shared presence and loving attention, while also offering an introduction to the work of the Mid-Hudson Threshold Choir and the service it provides to individuals and communities in times of transformation.

Participation is free. Registration requested so we can prepare the space accordingly.

A recent short video from The Guardian offers a glimpse into the Threshold Choir’s work.

This offering is part of the Lesser Mysteries spring cycle within the Greater Mysteries project — an ongoing seasonal exploration of the sacred cycles of life, death, and rebirth through the timeless arts of music, myth, and ritual.
