Music as Medicine Salon

An afternoon of song, soul, and sanctuary to shore up our spirits in this precious moment on Planet Earth with world renowned artist and scholar Lydia Violet Harutoonian. For folks who attended the Saturday "A Wild Love for the World" workshop (OR if you have a negative covid test from within 72 hours of the event), you are invited for an afternoon of song, soul, and sanctuary, hosted by Iranian-American singer/multi-instrumentalist Lydia Violet. Through community singing and musical performance, Lydia hopes to offer a salon to shore up our spirits in the precious moment on Planet Earth. Lydia Violet brings with her wisdoms from nearly a decade of dedicated study with Joanna Macy, as well as a bounty of songs stemming from her studies of Southern Roots music for resilience.
