"Open Eyes, Open Ears" - A World Music and Global Roots Showcase in support of Amnesty International

I'm excited to announce that I will be giving my FIRST LIVE PERFORMANCE AS A WORLD/ROOTS ARTIST with backing musicians. Up until now, I've been performing as a solo Native hand drummer but now that my new CD Medicine Song is well on its way, I'm breaking out and giving you ALL of who I am.

You'll hear a fusion of Native singing/chanting, reggae, R&B/soul and gospel in an intimate performance style. I'm so excited to do this concert and hope to see you there if you're in or near Toronto! I'm one of several world fusion artists performing on March 13th.

Sound Healing Circle "Show Some Love"

Yesterday was World Sound Healing Day, Valentine's Day and according to http://www.judecurrivan.com it was the dawning of the Age of Aquarius.

That's quite a day filled with Love, and as I said in my circle yesterday, even if it wasn't the dawning of the Age of Aquarius via the Aquarian planetary alignment, people worldwide were praying peace and love and that's really the point, isn't it?

I channeled a couple of healing songs, one for the group and one upon request, and we sang and drummed to our hearts' content. The owner of Ellington's Cafe, Winston, commented that this was perhaps the best circle I've done there in terms of energy. We all definitely felt the Love flowing throughout the circle.

Not only did we feel the Love but a friend of mine asked me to pose for some shots of me just before the circle and the pictures were graced with the energy/light/aura around me. I guess doing meditating during the window of the Aquarian Alignment worked pretty well! Check out these UNRETOUCHED pictures. You can click on them to enlarge:






The yellow is the wall background. Other than that, it's light/energy!

Thank you to all who came out for this circle. What a blessing to be part of another beautiful global healing meditation and prayer day!

Peace, Love & Light,
Brenda
