elle kirtans.
I spent this weekend up in Carbondale, Colorado with a conglomeration of friends and fellow musicians. We were invited by True Nature Healing Arts to come and rock the shakti with a little kirtan love. The facility is beautiful – you gotta check it out if you’re ever in town.
Branden (of TNHA) offered us this beautiful treehouse to stay in for the evening – it’s the kind of place that makes you seriously consider being an 8 year old for the rest of your life.
This was ultimately my first real performance… ever. I’ve sang a zillion times and performed a gazillion times… but this time, I was part of the entertainment. I was even (gasp!) PAID for singing. And between chants, a handful of folks came and dropped off their business cards with me, wanting to have us come and play again.
Have I mentioned how happy I am? I have stepped back from so much (that’s a whole other story… for another time…) but here I am, enjoying the space to express myself creatively – and who knew? Things are even more supportive and empowering than I had hoped they’d be.
Leap, and the net will appear. And there will be friends, music, campfires, breakfast potatoes, shooting stars, beer, adventures and zebra cakes galore.
Another round of endless THANK you’s to Ryan Hader, Damon the Zen Drummer and Darren Willis. You dudes rock.
