Happy full moon everyone! 🌕 
I have new song release update! 🤗🎶

It was a hot summer night several years ago, in my sweet West Marin home. I had just completed a deep and powerful evening of meditation and felt a strong desire to be out in nature, under the full moon. 

I hiked up the hill near my house and was struck by the most gorgeous, brilliant full moon! Its radiance filled my heart and soul with magic and inspiration. A Mercedes Sosa song celebrating the full moon beamed powerfully into my mind. I barely knew it and hadn't thought about it for years, but there it was. It arrived with a clear calling to learn and sing it. At that point, I just knew one line of it, so kept singing that line over and over again to the moon, creating other parts around it.

I went home, pulled up the lyrics, figured out some chords and created a rendition of it, very different from the original, but one that rang true to what I had heard and felt from the moon that night.

I started to share it in sacred circles and retreats and it became a favorite to sing and play with my sisters Lauren Arrow and Ila Cantor Santiago. (Such sweet memories! 💕)

Today, on the full moon, I am delighted to release "La Luna Llena," featuring Lauren Arrow on vocals and Ari Langer on violin.
I hope it brings you joy and inspiration! 

Credits:

The Only Way Through by Dianne Baker

The melody for this song came to me in early 2017 but it wasn’t until I shared it with several songleading colleagues in one big epic improvisation at Village Fire 2018 that it came into its fullness. This song odyssey co-creation honors our ancestors and everything that has come before so we can be here now, weaving our hands into our world.

Original song by Lisa G. Littlebird. (Great thanks to many of the harmony lines that were born of the creative genius of Aimee Ringle, Te Martin, Josh Blaine, Laurence Cole & Annie Zylstra, among others.) ©Lisa G. Littlebird 2018

When We Come Into Our Calling

To Listen is to Lean In Softly by Ian Carrick

A dedication to the new possibility that is emerging in & out of this time, to dreaming into existence the world to come, and to the resilience needed to get us through what is to come until then. 

Written on the 29th of Kislev/ 7th night of Chanukah, 5781 

Or chadash (new light)

The light is returning 
The light is leaving

Dream with me little baby

Or Chadash

An elegant, mystical, circular song flowed through me for the Winter Solstice of 2020, inviting us to trust the wisdom of our own hearts. Enjoy! 

Sung here in the Key of B flat (if you use a Shruti) The singing bowl is in D

You are welcome to share this song with others. Recording is not permitted. Thank you. 

Lyrics:

The answer lies within me
Deep within my heart
The wisdom I am seeking
Divine love will impart
Listen
Listen
Listen
