5 pm – 7 pm Join us for a Songwriting Workshop with Katrina Lilly and Max Ribner
When we speak, there is tone. When we move, there is rhythm.
Bridging the gap between stage and audience, we welcome you to an immersive experience/workshop where we all become part of the orchestra. Over two hours, we will be writing a song that presents itself in the moment while learning basic rhythms, choir parts, deep listening, and creative lyric writing. As a collective, we will journey into a prayerful space of connectivity, belonging, and coming home through song. Participants will then have the opportunity to share this song that evening during the evening performance!!!
All voices, ages, backgrounds, and levels of experience are welcome
From 7 pm – 11 pm We have our Medicine Music Concert!
Katrina Lilly sets the tone for the concert with an opening pray-formance. Brielle then will take the stage sharing songs meant to heal and uplift the collective. Then headliner Paul Izak shares his journey through music, inspired by his commitment to a simple, clean, and healthy lifestyle, deeply rooted in organic farming, yoga, and surfing. Max Ribner concludes the event with a poignant candlelight vigil, drawing us together in a reflective and unifying close. This sequence promises an evening of soulful connections and musical healing.
