Poranguí Live in Ashland - Beauty Way Tour
Beauty Way Tour: A Music, Dance, and Healing Experience
Multicultural musician, healer, and educator Poranguí will return to Ashland, Oregon on May 16th at Jackson Wellsprings. He and co-facilitator Ashley Klein will create an intentional container to experience the healing power of music, dance, and authentic expression. Poranguí’s live music set will be complemented by Ashley’s vocal guidance and live visual projections creating an unforgettable journey through the beauty of the earth and the tapestry of life.
The Beauty Way album and tour are inspired by Diné (Navajo) teachings from Poranguí & Ashley’s beloved Southwest. To walk in the Beauty Way is to live in balance and harmony with the unfolding of all life. Walking the Beauty Way together, we weave ourselves more deeply into the fabric of the earth, herself. Porangui’s forthcoming album, Beauty Way, will be released on April 21, 2023.
Poranguí and Ashley will be joined by Murray Kyle, a mystic troubadour hailing from the visionary Byron Bay region of Australia, for an opening set of heart medicine and Earth honoring songs. His contagious soul restoring music will sweep you off your feet, out of your head, and into your heart.
Hózhóogo naasháa doo. May we all walk in beauty.
