Love-for-the-world prayer and music rituals in at Live Oak Park in Berkeley
Prayers for the World is an informal group offering ourselves as vehicles for healing our world through community, music, poetry, dreams and prayer.
The last gathering on October 31 focused particularly on the mid-term elections
From time to time we are called to community as we find ways to navigate in this turbulent world. Let’s bring our hive together and hummm, sing, didge, drum, etc. so that we may face what is happening on this planet with honesty, peace, compassion, kindness, and inspired action.
Held on Saturdays at 8:30 am at the Shattuck Ave. side of Live Oak Park in Berkeley, just north of (down the small hill) and on the same side of the street as Live Oak Theater. There are no picnic tables there, but there are two beautiful redwoods.

Didgeridoo: classes and lessons.
The didgeridoo is an Australian Aboriginal instrument traditionally crafted from eucalyptus wood hollowed out by termites. For our purposes, any hollow tube that produces the distinctive didgeridoo sound–a deep, soothing drone–qualifies.
Explore our expert didgeridoo lessons and classes, designed to address the challenges you face.
Learn to breathe well and calm yourself through the Hummmm.
“Some of my favorite aspects of the class were the hummmming with didgeridoo and blowing bubbles. It’s like meditation and physical therapy. My jaw relaxed.”
Djuna M. in reference to Sound Breathing class, March 2026
“Hummmming is so lovely, I am passing it along.”
