Music As Medicine - A Community Gathering of Song, Icaro, & Plant Wisdom

  • The Long Room 1111 Central Avenue Charlotte, NC, 28204 United States (map)

There are precious moments when a song reaches you and invites you to be still, to feel safe enough to listen with your full being. We are extending the invitation for you to join in a night of community filled with heart-centered music, story, and Spirit.

Our intention is simple and heartfelt: to open our voices, our instruments, and our hearts in relationship with the plant teachers who've so generously shared their wisdom with us. We believe music is not meant to be performed, it is meant to be received, like a subtle melody heard between leaves, like a rhythm the body remembers before the mind does. When we remember this together, we create a space where all of us are held and honored.  In this space, the medicine of each distinct voice can be heard, and together we create the harmonious sound of a loving community.

We are not hosting a concert. We are inviting you into a co-creative field where your presence is welcomed, felt, and honored.

The Evening Arc

  1. Big Ol' Warm Welcome and Grounding Meditation

  2. Two Opening Icaros (traditional Shipibo medicine songs) as a tender introduction to this beautiful lineage of vocal medicine

  3. Song-sharing arc following the four directions and their elements, with each artist offering songs shaped by their own relationship with plant teachers:

    1. East as Air

    2. South as Fire

    3. West as Water

    4. North as Earth

  4. Closing the circle the way we opened it: in connection together

ADDITIONAL REALLY GREAT NEWS!

Cups o' cacao will be served on site by Gil Nelson to nourish your heart even more (yumma!)
