Kendra shares about the transformative power of music, as a harpist and singer, multi instrumentalist, song catcher, deep listener and ceremonialist. It has brought her to the bedside of the dying to help ease the fear of an illness and offer comfort.
Kendra Faye writes: It is a joy and honor to be with you and share about the transformative power of music.
I am a harpist and singer, and multi instrumentalist, song catcher, deep listener and ceremonialist.
Music has taken me around the globe. To environments as varied as the Amazonian jungle and the hospital wards; it has taken me from teens struggling to overcome addiction to sharing the joy of new born baby; and finally it has taken me to the bedside to help ease the fear of an illness or offering music to comfort the biggest of life’s transitions in my work with hospice.
Sharing the power of music has been both joyful and humbling; Being both performer and witness; being both minstrel and student; Learning from the Universal language of song that crosses borders and blends appreciation with wonder.
The ways we sing, play and praise in devotion awakens the heart to experience more fully the healing, the pleasure, the celebration, and utilize the lessons from pain or sadness.
I am grateful that my lifelong love of music reminds me of the power and beauty that we all are and how sound can help remind us of our inner beauty. Song speaks our stories.
There is something sacred about deep listening and expression of song that our soul thirsts for. It soothed us, comforts us, and inspires us as we dance with life’s mystery.
