Our Purpose Statement: We seek the spiritual empowerment of women. It is our goal to create safe, sacred space for exploring womenʼs spirituality through music. Through song we intend to enhance consciousness of Mother Earth, express love for the environment, and celebrate traditions from many cultures. As we find the power behind our voices, we then blend that power to create an even greater voice
