About 4 Earth DVD:
Stunning images of four uniquely different, yet interconnected environments and the flow of water among them. A perfect antidote to the stresses of modern urban life that has become increasingly disconnected from nature. This DVD is ideal for bringing nature into one’s personal life. It can support inner peace, relaxation and meditation. It is ideal for people in need of physical or spiritual healing. Teachers can also use it to bring awareness of nature and these four eco-systems into the classroom. In the soft amber glow of a secluded northern bay, sea gulls prepare for evening. The sun slowly sets, night falls and the scene shifts to a full moon rising over a southern ocean gleaming with reflected light. We are hypnotized by the ebb and flow of churning waves. Time stretches out and a glorious sunrise heralds the next moment of our video tour of Earth’s water systems. These intimate video portraits of the natural world follow the cycle of water from salty ocean waves to breathtaking views of mountain peaks and blue white glaciers, down rocky hillsides gushing with snow melt streams and coursing along salmon-spawning rivers where eagles gather to feed in quiet pools. The flow continues along forested wetlands into a lotus pond teeming with wildlife and eventually returning to the sea.
Video shot in TRUE HIGH DEFINITION mostly near the home of Dean and Dudley next to a wild river valley in the north Cascade Mountains. Dean’s camera work allows you to see through his eyes a world of exquisite beauty in every direction he turns. Whether it’s a forested valley or spring wetland; the gushing, rushing waterfalls and streams of a summer day; or the snowy white winter peaks of Mt. Baker and Mt. Shuksan just a short drive from his home, Evenson captures both the power and subtlety of water and Earth in this hour-long video meditation. Other locations include Bellingham Bay, south Florida ocean, Jamaican sea, and the lotus pond next to the Soundings of the Planet recording studio. Artist Statement: We envision a balance between these four interconnected eco-systems and the flow of water among them. The videos show how they look now in certain places on E arth, using recent images mostly from the Pacific Northwest. Climate change and human development threaten the fragile balance of all these systems, especially in regard to the small percentage of fresh water available on the planet. By showing the stunning beauty of earth’s natural systems, we aim to inspire an appreciation for their values and functions and instill a respect for preserving them by encouraging active mitigation of the forces that threaten their balance.

Featuring: R. Carlos Nakai, David Monongye, Cha-das-ska-dum, Which-ta-lum, Cornel Pewewardy, Tsa’ne Dos’e, Jerry Alfred, Sarah James, Dean Evenson, William Eaton, Dik Darnell
About Arctic Refuge
This stunning compilation of Native American flute music, Native American songs, chants and other instrumental music features R. Carlos Nakai, Sarah James, Cha-das-ska-dum and other prominent Native American musicians. Arctic Refuge has been created to benefit the preservation of the Arctic National Wildlife Refuge and the richness of life, natural resources and endangered species it supports: the caribou, polar bears, arctic foxes, grizzlies, musk ox, wolves, migratory birds, and the rich culture of the Native American people of this land. The nature sounds reflect the rich diversity of the northern coastal plain of Alaska, the biological heart of the Arctic National Wildlife Refuge, also known as ANWR.
Dean and Dudley Evenson first learned about threats of oil drilling to the Arctic National Wildlife Refuge a number of years ago when they met Sarah James, a remarkable Native American woman of the Gwich’in Tribe who inspired them with her activism and dedication to preserving her culture and the wilderness that her tribe depends on. She helped them see the importance of preserving this wilderness treasure from oil drilling. This issue will continue until there are clear plans in place for permanent preservation of the Arctic National Wildlife Refuge Your purchase of this compilation CD will help benefit the preservation of ANWR and help the Gwich’in Steering Committee and other organizations working to preserve this pristine wilderness area. A portion of the artist royalties, producer royalties and Soundings of the Planet proceeds will benefit these worthy organizations. “If we destroy the land and resources on which we depend, and with which we live, then we are destroying ourselves. We depend on the caribou and our survival depends on their protection. We cannot tolerate any harm to the renewable resources that have sustained my people and our ancestors for many thousands of years.” – Norma Kassi, Gwich’in leader from Old Crow, Yukon

Ascension to Tibet
Ascension to Tibet – Dean Evenson
SP7157-CD • UPC 096507715721
Featuring: Singh Kaur (AKA Lorellei) Dean Evenson Dudley Evenson Daniel Paul
About Ascension to Tibet:
Originally called Ascension when it was released back in 1995, Ascension to Tibet now adds bonus track “Om Mane Padme Hum” by Migyur Rinpoche and a CD-ROM video that includes an interview with the Dalai Lama as well as footage of Evenson’s trip to Tibet. To gain inspiration for this album we journeyed to the planet’s highest mountains, the Himalayas. We experienced the pristine climate and rarefied air of the “rooftop of the world,” first flying over and then traveling overland through 18,000 foot passes with prayer flags waving in the breeze. We gazed up at 29,000 foot snow-capped peaks. As if in a giant time machine, we explored Tibet and Nepal and recorded the sounds and sights of these ancient cultures which we have interwoven with the music we have created. We visited monasteries of chanting monks, drank yak butter tea in pre-dawn hours with temple gatekeepers, played and shared food with begging children and saw peasants singing to their yaks in a barley-threshing ritual of daily life. As we set our sights on Ascension, we aimed for the highest and at the same time were touched by the depths of the human experience.
And on a personal level, we celebrated 25 years of being together as a couple by deepening our relationship through this magical, mystical journey of love. To some inner music which flows from the depths of the earth to the heavens above, taking our souls on a journey to lighten our loads and uplift our spirits. Smooth sailing amongst the spaces between reality and reason carries our dreams higher into ever-present manifestations, lifting us up to merge with the energy that powers the universe and gives birth to new beginnings. Molecules sing and sway with a rhythm of a timeless journey that takes us to the stars and back again. Up through the thoughts of our everyday process, climbing beyond the random lessons of life to the top of our vantage point. Viewing a vista through the essential energy into our own purpose of being and connecting it to our personal lifespan.
