Join the fundraiser to make an album entirely dedicated to grief, recorded with over 150 voices in Summer 2023 called “WAILS: songs for grief.” It is inspired by the five gates of grief from Francis Weller’s book, “The Wild Edge of Sorrow.” There is a song for each gate, an opening and closing song & spell. This album is meant to be like sitting in a circle, a ceremony if you will, to honor grief in a culture that is grief-illiterate & grief phobic.

​

She aims to raise $20,429 for studio time, a producer, an engineer, mixing, mastering, food and care for a 100+ person choir, musicians, merch and more. 

​

YES! Recording with a 111+ choir! That is when these songs sound the richest! Get an idea here & here. 

​

She will be touring this album in a song ceremony fashion, going from community to community with the prayer of remembering what was meant to be forgotten: Our inherent birthright of rhythm and song already living inside our bodies, to grieve, to be witnessed in community and to know - we were never meant to do any of this alone. 

​

This album is an ode to grief, rage, ceremony, ritual, the ancestors, prayer, community, spirit kin and reverence for sacred space holding.

 

You can gift energy to this album's coming to fruition by supporting them on Patreon.
