Hi all – I have only been traveling since Wednesday and it feels like lifetimes – it has been so expansive and rich. I wanted to share a couple photos/videos and share some reflections.

House concert in Amherst – SO MUCH FUN! What a perfect way to kick off the 12 Rebirth tour. I sang through the whole record in a beautiful backyard to an audience that was listening deeply and receiving fully. true bliss! Thank you Sarah and Scott for hosting! Watch some LIVE footage on FB.

Lake Champlain in Vermont – I visited with a colleague and his husband and had a wonderful time, soaking in the nature and sharing stories that ranged from Wayne Dyer to Parker Palmer to Claire Zammit. This was no basic chit chat. We were going deep and eating yummy salmon as we did. As they say, Life is Good.

Quebec with my friend Maryse and community was extraordinary. I fell in love with the energy of Sherbrooke and the people who blessed me with their chanting. Maryse translating into French for me, which was a new and wonderful experience for me inviting me to speak less and sing more. Those of you who know me or have seen me live, realize this may have been challenging. ; )

The amazing thing is that the music translates powerfully no matter the language,. It is Vibration – a consciousness and my time in Quebec helped reflect this to me. What a gift. Asato Ma was particularly powerful and will be used to help begin the first ever Gaia’s Love Festival in Cincinnati Ohio on August 3.

Now – On Sunday morning – I am typing from a place called Brittania Beach in Ottawa. It’s a wonderful combination of on the Ottawa River beach cottage community with city vibe and international people. I walked down last night to the park saw some kiteboarding, had a beer and veggie burger at the local Baja burger place and smoked in the international culture. What a gift.

Today I journey further west into Ottawa and will explore the Algonquin Park. All along my time in Canada I feel deeply connected to nature and am beyond grateful. Thanks for listening and tuning in. Song of the day, as I honor the land of the Algonquin, I am the Ocean.

IMG_0562Greetings all. It has been a while since I have posted, as I have been in a lot of deep personal contemplation. Sometimes on the journey, as an artist and as someone who chooses to see their journey as a spiritual one, there is the need for an outer silence, as one allows the inner landscape to shift and transform. I have been in such a passage since around April of this year. As you all know the noise in the outer world is quite intense and so I have found a greater need to slow down, be still and allow myself to get very clear about my next steps as an artist and as a human on this earth right now.

The good news is many new songs have come through me and the vibration they hold is one of truth, love, hope, human fragility, the power of connection, and transformative joy. Join me on Aug 31 at the Barnstable Tavern to hear some of them live. I look forward to recording them over the next few months and sharing this new vibration far and wide.

Today, this new moon in Leo feels like a rebirthing and so if felt powerful and true to say a quick hello and let you know I am still here and will be sharing new music very very soon.

In the meantime, please feel to reach out in anyway should you be interested in some live music for an event or a private energy healing session. These are powerful times to be alive and I am grateful for each opportunity to connect in the vibration of love, truth, peace, non-violence and right-conduct.

I share with you one of my favorite tracks from Wise Innocence, Samastah Lokah Sukhino Bevhantu. May All Beings in All the Worlds be Happy and Free!

new moon 5.15
From New Moon Deck by Aarona Lea

Whew! I have been in some kind of vortex since January. Truly. Something about today – this new moon has delivered me into a whole new vibration. I couldn’t be more grateful.

The best news is, I have been writing  tons of songs. These songs are a new vibration –  a vibration that feels very connected to my  2012:Isn’t it Amazing? album. Like that album, I have had to travel deep inside and into dark places in order to allow what wants to come through, to come through.

I still spend time thinking “why can’t I just be a happy artist who is always motivated and moving forward? Why must I dive deep into the abyss in order to create?” In this moment, in the energy of this new moon, I laugh at this question. That is like asking, “why must I carry a baby for 9 months, Can’t I just think about it and it be here?”

I recently met a beautiful soul in the body of a young man at my favorite coffee shop in my town and he enlightened me by talking about the law of gestation. That is where I have been – GESTATING. And so, thank you for still being here and know that a whole new offering is coming and I can’t wait to share it. so much LOVE to all of you.

Happy Happy New Moon in May!

I hope you are taking time to be still, listen to your favorite music, take walks in the woods, rest, drink water and connect with like minded loving friends. 2018 will be all about love.

IMG_9374Hello all – can you believe it’s July 23rd? Wow, time sure is moving fast.

I wanted to send a quick note and let you know I am singing this Thursday at Bismore Park on Hyannis Harbor as a part of the Love Listen Local series. It’s also a good time to save the date for our next Full Moon Beach Yoga with live music – Monday Aug. 7.

The energies inside and out are calling us to be still and allow for great change. So take time to be in nature, listen to music, chant with others, take naps and CHILL OUT. All is well and all will happen in Divine Time. Check out my meditation and healing energy offerings at Sounding Still Wellness.

August is coming and it’s a great month to listen to my old new-age country song, Back Porch Drunk. Peace to all. Make Music, Be Happy!

On October 8 there is an event called #Chant4Change. If you can be there – BE THERE If you can Donate, Donate

MC YOGI will be there which brings in the modern movement of yoga, music and getting “Off The Mat”

David Newman/Durga Das will be there, bringing in the powerful lineage of Krishna Das.

Tina Malia will be there, who just happens to be one of my all time favorite songwriters and performers.

This event feels like it was literally created for me – inviting me to marry my activist self with my spiritual self. What an opportunity! Thank you Universe. Thank you people who work on behalf of the universe.

Thank you to music, the never ending vibration that connects all, heals all, and awakens all.  JAI JAI MA!!

IMG_8071I have written many songs about the magic of September. Perhaps because my birthday is in August or I have been a perennial student, September often feels like the new year to me.

I wrote September Again when I was around 22, having just lived in Ptown for a while and was facing a sense of who am I without the structure of school?

I wrote Sweet September just after turning 40, returning to Cape Cod, and completing 40 days of chanting that led me to my current career of music and transformation.

This September, I don’t feel a song coming, but rather an epic musical. It’s kind of a scary feeling because I have written a musical before and I know what it takes to complete it and get it up on stage. Those fans of Love according to Luc may remember it from way back in 2004.

As the new multidimensional musical ruminates in my creative psyche I will be singing and touring often in the fall, winter, and spring, so stay tuned and keep listening.New Moon Yoga Workshop & Chanting
May this new moon bring you a TRUE SENSE of newness. May you awaken right NOW in this moment and create all you know you are. JOIN ME TONIGHT at Innerglow Yoga in Mashpee for a NEW MOON YOGA FLOW with Kristen O’Toole Yoga 6-7:30pm.

Let’s ROCK this September. love love love

Alicia
