Wow, what a summer and an amazing Eclipse to culminate it with.  No words will describe the power of gathering at Oregon Eclipse to celebrate this once in a lifetime event.
I prayed and set intentions with 70,000 people from all over the world while the sun went dark and then came back to light again. It was incredibly powerful. I broke open as tears welled up and gently streamed down my cheeks from the sheer magnitude of emotions surrounding me.

Chief Black Fox had changed my mind about being superstitious of the eclipse, and I’m glad he did! While helping me carry a heavy box, he explained his cultural beliefs surrounding this eclipse, and it sounded like something I wanted to share with him and his tribe. I had no idea he was the Chief until later!

Rising Nomads have taken up most of my time this summer…….

Rising Nomads
Rising: in consciousness
Nomads: travelers

Rising Nomads are a collective of healing artists from all walks of life and various continents, who are inspired to serve as facilitators in healing.
We feel comfortable on the road, enjoying variable climates, landscapes and environments as we travel about.
We make ‘home’ wherever we are through the use of tactile and visual adornments creating pleasing use of spaces.
Rising Nomads are available to travel to events, festivals, gatherings, parties, clubs, meetings, conferences, summits, slums, ghettos, camps & homes to bring you their trade in the healing arts.
We are doctors, shamans, witches, wizards, healers, teachers, therapists, bodyworkers and light workers.
We are enthusiastically ready to rise to any occasion and HELP!”

This is where I feel inspired to put my energy now. SoozMusic will continue, and as a true Gemini I will work with, and as a Rising Nomad now, too. More to come on that later.

Meanwhile, SoozMusic is happy to welcome Barrio Manouche to the party! Barrio Manouche is an acoustic San Francisco-Based international Septet (Spain, Quebec, France, Brasil and California), playing music that will take you on a magical journey, frequently joined by artist from all over the globe.
