Songs as Medicine with Heather Houston - S2:E4
You are in for a treat with songs and conversation from Heather Houston in California with Mother Nature Podcast Host Looby Macnamara. Looby did a 6 month song leader training with Heather online and it was such a wonderful experience that she wanted to share some of her magic with the Mother Nature community. Today we have 6 songs that Heather shared - 5 of them are her original songs. Amongst the singing we talk about the sacred process of catching, crafting and sharing songs. the joys of circles, shadows that can come up when we step into leadership, and some advice for anyone who thinks they can’t sing. Together these songs weave a magical medicine pouch for our mothering journey. Enjoy and do sing along and please share this with others.
