Happiness is a renewable resource. So is courage.
Creativity is how we get there.
And we get there together.

Welcome to Aliveness Through Arts.
In these times, making art of all kinds is crucial.
Harvest is underway in the Northern Hemisphere, springtime burgeoning Down Under. The beauty and poignancy of Life’s cycles is everywhere.
What are you feeling?
What helps you sustain your strength and passion for living amidst change?
In my work as a singer, performing songwriter, author, and facilitator, I’m acutely aware that—as Charlie Murphy once sang—“No one can bring in the harvest alone.” So, tell me:
What are you on the verge of harvesting? Where can you use a hand?
You’ve landed on this page, likely looking for something you need.
Perhaps you’re seeking a song—one written or yet to be born, yours or one of mine.
Perhaps you or someone you love is struggling with issues of aging, creative blocks, a sense of disconnection or despair, a longing for renewal, or simply wanting more joy!
My work—on stage, on the page, and behind the scenes—is to spark and re-spark, mend and tend creative fires, to mid-wife projects, and kindle encouragement and courage in everyone I meet.
I invite you to join me. This season, I’m offering concert-readings, a cohort for creatives, and individual coaching packages at great rates. Prepare yourself for harvest and a deeply fruitful close to the year.
CONCERT-READINGS. I’ll be sharing recent and treasured songs, poetry, a short mythic tale and my newest creative non-fiction toward a book-in-progress.
October 25 at 11am Pacific, online around the “virtual hearth” (zoom). Register here.
November 8, including a birthday celebration, in-person in Port Townsend. (Details tbd soon).
CREATIVE COHORTS! From October 21-December 2, I’m offering Creatives in Cahoots, a six-week cohort and salon to support your progress on a creative project, focus, or dream.
Make it real! Sign up for a discovery conversation and see how a cohort can boost your satisfaction, delight, and success. Early bird rates apply til Oct 12.
INDIVIDUAL COACHING, CONSULTING, and COMMISSIONS:
• I have three spaces for individuals or couples seeking to deepen creative focus and completion of a specific creative project, legacy or life goal. Learn about 3, 6, and 9 packages here!
• As steward of non-profit organizations Songwritingworks.org and Mythsingerlegacy.org I serve as a consultant supporting teaching artists, schools, and communities who value the power of song and story. If your work or workplace can be enhance with more accessible programs, intergenerational experiences, or tribute events, let’s discuss your needs and visions.
• In addition to my composing and performing music, poetry, multi-media work, mythic tales, and kinship conversations with the Living World, I create new works on commission expressly for you, your family, community, or business. Reach out to explore co-creating an original work.
Here’s to sharing joy, collective bounty—wisdom—curiosity.
I look forward to hearing from you.
