I caught this song while hiking in Kalapuyan territory of the coast range of so-called Oregon. Same Mother is a medicinal song that can help us remember that we are on holy land everywhere we stand. Let the paths you walk become living prayers.

Wherever you are on the planet, whether paved or unpaved, jungle or desert or forest, frozen or flooded, prairie or city... Whomever you are, wherever you are from...
"Same Mother, all the way around. Every step is a prayer, put your barefeet on the ground. Feel yourself connected, guided, protected."

"Let's begin rememberin' the sounds of our origins:
Barefoot, in a forest, foragin'" ~ Kjersten

Interviewed on the Radio! Megan Eberhardt on Community Singing

This song has so many harmonies available.  This recording demo's two simple parts, suitable for teaching in community song-circles.  They're broken down at the beginning, then the whole is repeated three time.

Sweet, slow, soul,
I am washing,
Your cares
Away

When the invitation to write a Lenten theme song for A Sanctified Art (https://sanctifiedart.org/) came in a season of political and personal turmoil, I found it difficult to imagine singing across significant differences with other faithful people. If I took that risk, what music or text could honor the complexity of our stories and experiences and not do more harm?

I leaned into my experiences of community singing over the past decade, trusting practices of song-sharing that are deeply relational can foster spaces to know yourself, know others, and be known to them. 

What felt essential was a return to the breath which could anchor an invitation to listening and self-awareness. The phrase “breathe, listen, and notice” emerged as I imagined what might help us share our stories and experiences without judgment or assumptions. If all you do while you listen to the song is breathe, that is enough. I also hope that moments of call-and-echo singing can model the back and forth patterns of conversation, as well as offer opportunities for grace-filled learning. If you can’t sing all the echoes the first few times, keep at it!

The piece could be used for gathering or centering, woven through a Prayer of Confession, used as a sung Prayer of Illumination, or offered in response to the proclamation of the Word. No matter how or where you use it, may it invite you to slow down, breathe deeply, and hold the challenging, complex spaces with tenderness and courage.


Help us speak less, slow judgment,
breathe, listen, and notice 
what is present in the dissonance, discomfort, and the questions.

Help us rest well, find balance, 
breathe, listen, and notice 
what is present in simplicity, in slowness, and in quiet.

Help us to lean in, seek wisdom,
breathe, listen, and notice
what is present in the letting go, the learning, and the struggle.

Help us love well, walk humbly,
breathe, listen, and notice: 
God is calling us to faithfulness, compassion, and to courage.

Welcome to my singing cloud. Here you will hear little gems and performances of creations with my choirs and workshops. I am a community song facilitator living and working in the South of Ireland. From a young age I remember listening deep to the heartbeat in everything , melody always followed. A love for song, leadership and harmonies is running through my veins. This page of sounds is a collection of songs that I have taught or presently leading during this time. All my work has gone online presently - Compositions are being recorded and shared. If you would like to attend one of my workshops/events online got to www.tembresong.com. I lead a beautiful unique online singing commuity every week called 'Gathering Hearts' and fortnightly on a Sat 'We May Sing' where I invite guest song leaders around the world to lead. 

Many of the songs shared on this page are for the use of my choir members to learn pieces or refresh their memories  during the term or before Concerts. I am so grateful to all the composers of these songs, that have been made with blood sweat and tears, uplifting and protesting, unearthing and guarding to be able to bring us these songs. Eternally grateful.
