This will be an online Zoom meeting. Please RSVP on our Meetup for this event to get access to the Zoom link. See our online meeting instructions at: https://torontooasis.org/online-meeting-instructions
Our program will run from 11 am to 12:30 pm. You can join the meeting starting at 10:30 am for our open social. After 12:30 pm, we will also have an extended discussion for half an hour, until 1:00 pm.
We will be watching and then discussing select videos by Nuseir Yassin, a self-identified Muslim Israeli-Palestinian vlogger known on YouTube as Nas Daily. He has embarked on a 6-month personal journey to learn about six religions. His latest “religion” video describes what he has learned about Atheism. The videos and topic were selected and will be introduced by Tania Akon, a Toronto Oasis organizer.
We will also be having live music! Our featured musician will be Cassie Norton, a Toronto based singer-songwriter, violinist/multi-instrumentalist, and climate activist. Cassie tells the stories behind her lyrics with sound, using a wide timbral palette of voice, violin, octave violin, ukulele, and piano.
Cassie Norton has recorded two full length albums as a solo artist, Little Strength (2009) and Quiet Wilderness (2010), and has recorded both as a guest artist and band member on many other projects.
When she isn’t busy making her own music, Cassie shares her love of music with others through teaching. She teaches a variety of private and ensemble classes at Regent Park School of Music, and through her private studio.
Cassie is also the music director and a regular performer at Toronto Oasis. Her website is: https://www.cassienorton.com/
