The Heart of Mountains & Mystics - An Evening of Stories, Poems & Music

Come, open your heart as we listen to tales of
John Muir's great Vision of Nature,
along with ecstatic poetry of Rumi & Hafiz,
accompanied by rich, flowing music.

To hundreds of audiences across the Americas, Britain and Europe, Gilchrist has brought an intimate view of a man who looked into the heart of nature and changed the heart of a nation.

Eric Schneider joyously spouts the sacred poems of the mystics Rumi, Hafiz, and others, kindling the silent flame of awakeness in every heart. In the past 20+ years, Eric has memorized over a hundred of these sacred poems that spring to life through his beautiful spirit, voice and warm presence.
