The West Coast is a beacon of transformational culture. From leading the countercultural movement in San Francisco in the 1960s to providing a home for transformational festivals several decades later, the West Coast has continually challenged the boundaries of regularly accepted culture and the taken-for-granted assumptions society to has as a result. I have been lucky to experience the consciousness expanding, heart opening experiences that are encouraged by this culture. With that in mind, I am humbled, honored, and gracious to have the opportunity to contribute my music from my album, nameless energy, to two classes aymbiosis Gathering in Woodward, California.
Symbiosis Gathering is an annual transformational festival that is held in Northern California on a bucolic piece of property that seamlessly blends the human-made with the natural, reminding us of our roots as we drift lazily on the water or dig our toes into the grass while taking in the sights and sounds. Like its predecessor Burning Man, Symbiosis is a communal gathering that encourages radical self-expression while espousing an ethic of sustainability and personal development against a backdrop of mind-bending art and music. The ethic of participation transforms the space from one of consumption to one of creation, as the individual is encouraged to climb on art and live to their fullest expression.
I was inspired to create my album after immersing myself in this community. Because of that, it is an amazing honor to perform at two classes on Sunday. I will be performing with Christi Christensen on Sunday morning at 11:30AM and in the afternoon at 3:30PM with Michelle Nayeli at her Hoop Vinyasa classes. We are excited to bring you the gift of healing and uplifting sound and movement that has given all of us beautiful, rewarding experiences.
