A concert of soul nourishing original songs, poetry, and communal singing carefully crafted to create a safe place where grief, joy, and resilience intertwine.
Spiritual counselor and author, Susan P. Lax, draws on her years of experience in the field of grief and loss to co-create this concert with fairy folk singer-songwriter, Shira, named the “golden-voiced singer,” by The New York Times.
"At a moment of our great communal mourning, Shira, Susan, and the stellar band took us all on a journey from grief to the beginnings of hope, from isolation to the reminders of connection. Their creativity and musicianship was extraordinary."
