Dane Rudhyar spent most of the final
10 years of his life living in
Palo Alto, CA with his wife Leyla
Rael. These were extremely
productive and creative years during
which Rudhyar received substantial
acknowledgment for his music as well
as his astrological works. (Read Part
11 of Dane
Rudhyar, An Illustrated Biographic
Sketch.) During this period he
wrote several important books and composed
some long piano works. His wife Leyla
made it possible for Rudhyar to
continue his prolific creative output,
and to maintain a rigorous lecturing
schedule so that younger
generations of astrologers, philosophers,
musicians and composers would have
an opportunity to experience Rudhyar
directly.
RITA
It was in 1981, with
Rudhyar's blessing and under his
mentorship that RITA,
the Rudhyar
Institute for Transpersonal Activity was
born. This non-profit, public benefit
corporation is dedicated to disseminating
Rudhyar's work and essential message.
During Rudhyar's lifetime RITA published
two booklets by Rudhyar, Beyond
Personhood and Individual
Selfhood and the Threefold Nature of
Human Experience and sponsored
the 1983 and 1985 conferences
whose audios are now available on this
site. With the ongoing support and
guidance of Leyla Rudhyar Hill, RITA currently
makes the Rudhyar
Audio Archives and the Rudhyar
Archival Project possible.
