Brenda McMorrow and John de Kadt create a powerful and ecstatic experience of song and sound, featuring Brenda’s exquisite voice and folk-inspired guitar, and John’s mesmerizing percussion and spoken word. Their music and mystic poetry, along with the sublime steel Hang (pronounced “hung”) drum, take us on a stirring, nourishing, and heart opening journey into the world of sacred sound. With Sanskrit Mantra and Kirtan (call and response singing) as the basis, they weave in the power of Spanish ceremonial songs and inspiring English lyrics to create a healing and uplifting tapestry with the audience.

Workshop 1: “Mantras for Healing and Abundance with Brenda McMorrow

Brenda invites you to join her for this special workshop in which she will share mantra and meditation practices that are particularly powerful for bringing about healing and abundance.

Workshop 2: Drumstory with John de Kadt: An exploration in ancient myth

Our ancestors have left crumb trails behind them through the darkening forests towards something greater than our small selves.
