Welcome to the Song & Nature Sanctuary! Imagine a place where you can slow down, listen deeply, and remember your connection to yourself, to other humans, to our wild kin and the living earth, through song and nature connection practices.

The Sanctuary might be a good fit for you if:

• You love singing as a source of joy, connection, catharsis, and belonging.
• You want to learn new songs through the oral tradition and/or grow your song-leading skills and repertoire.
• You long to deepen your connection with nature, cultivate presence, and become more embodied in your creativity.
• You seek community with others who share your love of nature and song, and a supportive space to explore and hone your songwriting.
• You sing or teach my songs and want to support my work through financial reciprocity. 

In the Sanctuary we gather to nurture and explore the songs around and within us, and to deepen our relationship with nature.  

Your membership is an invitation to walk this path in community.
