Check out my new blog at http://anahermusic.blogspot.com - with a video of me teaching the chant Open My Heart. Feedback from Feb. 2008: "It may seem strange to use a word like "romantic" when trying to describe a time of worship, but that is exactly the word that came to my mind when Ana created the musical context for our community Eucharist in Saint John's Chapel. At its best, liturgy can express a kind of romance between God and people: a lyrical, organic, living relationship that is full of longing and of joy. Ana helped us remember that feeling. She reminded us that at the center of worship is love. - Steven Charleston, President and Dean, Episcopal Divinity School From a workshop at Cornell Univ.: "Magical and practical. A grounding for personal meditation, a spreading of wings for congregational singing. Inspirational ... AND fun! I can imagine any community or family experiencing deep bonding and joy in this workshop." - Suzanne Guthrie, author of Praying the Hours, and Grace's Window. "When we told our people at St. John’s that we had invited Ana Hernandez to come and lead us in a Sacred Chant workshop, most people’s vision of what we were doing was way off. Instead of monks and robes, Ana led us into chant, rhythm, dance and worship. Using drums and some instruments that some had never seen, Ana was able to lead us at once into peace and celebration. Several folk said that this was the most unique and wonderful workshop that they had ever attended. It was hot! - The Rev. Canon David C. James, St. John's Church, Olympia WA, and Author of Sacred Vision: A Man’s Legacy
