Earthsongs Music Collective is dedicated to rekindling the natural, noble and sacred role of musicians as healers, shaman, and culture stewards.
For the longest arc of human time, musicians were not our entertainers, they weren’t pop celebrities, they weren’t discarded by the wayside of industry.
Musicians were the most vital and life-giving part of all human cultures.
GAIA HYPOTHESIS
Musicians made the prayers.
Musicians sang the grief songs, sang tribal histories, recounted ancestral lineages, played the epic poems, animated the mythologies, presided over tribal agreements, sang the sick to life, sang the dead to the afterlife, praised the generosity of earth for the offerings of food, fiber, water, fire, air, and beauty.
Musicians moved the rituals.
Musicians sang houses into being, planted the fields, wove the tapestries, forged the metal, cooked the food, made the tools, initiated the youth, fired the clay pots, and regenerated every culture's cosmological origins.
Music is the Regeneration Message.
The regeneration movement must be musical.
Music is medicine.
​
Your music is a magical raft of sound that can carry us across the waters of transformation from the metacrisis to a whole world flourishing.
​
Music heals. Music makes us whole.
