Description:
Spirit Rock invites you to experience the celebration and connection of our second annual Sacred Sounds sessions, returning this summer! Each session will feature a musical artist devoted to preserving, creating, and sharing sacred, spiritual music in many exciting forms. Join us for a nourishing and uplifting combination of transformative music, an optional bring-your-own picnic outside in nature, and an opportunity to gather with sangha on our stunning Spirit Rock land.
Melanie DeMore is a vocal activist who uses her voice as a “weapon of mass connection” and believes in the healing power of voices raised together. Melanie has a gift for transforming the raw energy of being human into flowing rhythms and self-empowering awareness, all with a sweet top note of humor and not taking oneself too seriously. She works with everyone, from Baptist to Buddhist, strengthening the web of community. Her mission is to make sure you unlock the key to experiencing yourself in all your glory and return home with the same excitement and passion for living that she herself carries. When she comes your way, her energy will charge the very air you breathe like a meteor shower—so get ready to rise up!
During our time together we will sing, interspersed with silence and breath, sending healing into this tender world like trees transmitting support through their roots. Through our individual and collective expression, we will create a sacred outlet for release, emotion, connection, and transformation in response to all that is unfolding in our beloved world.
