How I adore The Bard...He was beyond Time...

We had a good first Core rehearsal for Season 4 last night... brought some new chicas into the Core...it was chaos and order , visceral and raw....hopefully getting us off on the strongest footing in learning some new music that is a step up in complexity.

I am very excited for that potential....it means growth in so many ways for many of the wyld womyn

I am always in awe of how so many of them are willing to risk and take on things that scare them...like reading music, or learning by aural process.

so..yay them...and looking forward to more work to be done.

Director of The Idisi

Jera: Change & Transformation...Season 4 has launched!

Hello hello!

The Idisi are excited to have launched their first rehearsal of the Season 4 last night ...can it really be 4 years already?

wow..

We happily inducted several new wyld womyn into the circle and sadly, but happily blessed the parting of a handful of womyn who are off on other adventures.

This renewal in the time of the Bone Mother...it is always bittersweet for me in The Idisi process..why you ask?

 I am a person who is invigorated by Fall..it is a time of beginnings for me and my cycle..even tho the nature of the season is about coming to endings and rest...but then..Life is an ever evolving/revolving circle so...it can be perceived subjectively..lol!

When Goddess called me to this vision...I had birthed, or co- birthed many a musical venture in the 20+ years as a professional musician. There is a formula no matter the genre of musical style that is pretty constant...

Not so in Idisi Land..lol...it is quite the NON norm.....so each season's beginning is a surprise, and I have to engage heavily in the Act of Detachment in regards to assumed outcomes. Womyn come and go as the Universe moves them, such is the nature of the work we do...and it is all good.

So blessings to those we part ways with, thank you for your gifts as you traveled with us, and welcome to the chicas who join the circle and take up the mantle of becoming an Idisi.

I look forward to sharing all the good with you and those who would be open to our work.

An open THANK YOU to the Wyld Chicas

Ladies,

Thank you for a very beautiful, fun, and productive rehearsal last night. There were so many growth spurts, moments of "ahh" and laughter..it was a delight to my battered heart chakra.

The Scribes will put forth notes soon..just wanted to say that the first chanty- WHOO -ha left me quietly in tears at the end of it...it was such a proud mamma hen moment for me and Goddess smiled in my heart as She held space for us all.

For those who were not physically present, our first chant was for ourselves, as sisters, and encompassed all who Have Been, Are, and Will Be with us in the circle. I hope you all felt that in the Ether.

This has been a very challenging journey for us thus far...pioneering/remembering... how we do this as a circle of circles upon circles of women all over the planet, and thru Time itself.

I never claimed to be the most awesome director /musician...all I can ever do is show up and do my best..and even that is not consistent.I am learning everyday what I think I can do can become real, and how the impossible can happen when I allow....you all are a gift.

Last night was a culmination of so many countless hours of time, tears and patience we have all sacrificed, and the yield was so simple and beautiful to behold...it moved me to tears.

I hope, on your own paths, and in your circles...your support folks and loved ones see how much growth and beauty resides in each an every one of you...and how the intertwining of The Idisi's path with your soul walk has brought to you some riches and strengths you did not know you had....as well as sisters .

You all glowed last night...it was a thing of such Beauty.

I look forward to singing with you all again soon. To all our sisters who walk in the World...we miss you.

Thank you for sharing your gift of Self with this vision of The Idisi.

Namaste'

The Idisi is a gathering of women intent on singing and opening the world up to the sonic healing, especially that of the Divine Feminine.

We are a chorus of women raising the vibrations of ourselves, and of those we encounter through music of many cultures, faith practices,
and life paths.

The Idisi come together with great love, respect, and honor among ourselves as artists and access the healing properties of sonics to share that energy with as many people as we can.

Bring a prepared a cappella piece (no accompaniment) 16-28 bars long..can be simple..just need to hear you.

Audition will be a 2-3 hour process as it is a rehearsal sample with members of the group, as well as interview and vocal coaching with Director

To set up audition time, please send email to queenvalkyrie at hotmail dot com and use "Idisi" in subject line.

We are a unique bunch and are looking for more sisters to join us on the journey...waiting for you....and yes, I am looking at you...lol.
