PARTICIPANT TESTIMONIALS

“Cari orchestrated us like true wizardess weaving invisible strings of connection and healing”

“This was one of the most powerful ceremony rituals I have ever been a part of. I wanted so much to be witnessed in my grief and through this I was, and held so deeply, surrounded by community, as we sung back to each other, our rage , our joy , our sadness, our fear. “

“I had the experience of working with Cari in her grief and song workshop last year, at Wild and Alive, Thriving Roots, (an outdoor nature program for adults) and it was one of the most profound workshops I’ve ever sat in. The way in which Cari holds space is with both such tenderness and strength. I’ve never felt such deep grief as well as joy simultaneously and been held in it all. There was one particular part in the ceremony where I felt that if we did this more often the world would be a much better place to exist, humans would feel less alone, to feel grief is to feel love and in this container Cari holds space for all these parts to be explored within your own sound."
