Music & Poetry as Spiritual Practice

sound, spoken word & silence as companions on the path

Fields of exploration

  • Sacred song through an interfaith lens
  • Meditative guitar improvisation & folk song
  • Liturgical poetry and mystic verse
  • Celtic song and Gregorian Chant

“Music is the bridge connecting our worldly and divine experiences.”

Ludwig van Beethoven

I invite you into a contemplative space where music and poetry help us listen beneath the surface of life. Through song, spoken word and silence, we make room for whatever is stirring in you, whatever your tradition, or none

  • Spoken word as contemplation
  • Rhythm breath and sacred pacing
  • Readings from ancient wisdom texts
  • Original compositions for reflection and rest

“One line of poetry can change your life.”

David whyte
