Conversational Concert with Joel Karabo Elliott

Time for a check in after 3 months with Jo-el! Our Artist-in-Residence and choir director offers a multi-dimensional, grace-filled reflection on his immersion thus far in the CCLD portal of threshold care and community weaving. Many of you know Joel by now and witness the value and depth of his presence and offerings to the community. Here's a chance to sit in with him personally, attune to some sensitive themes and dynamics through the ear-lens of a musical artist, dive into the phenomenal and the funky, and taste the ecstatic juice blend...spiked by Music!!

"CCLD is certainly one of the most loving, unique, ancestrally-guided, flow-state oriented and revolutionary organizations I've ever been a part of. The magical mystical musical conundrum at work here is so simple: as we relinquish our fear of death together and tend the threshold space, community joy is enlivened and the value of life is restored. I've witnessed that the presence of attuned music and embodied creativity amplifies Love and makes this process way easier for everyone. Whether they are residents crossing-over and their attending families, or doulas re-membering how to grieve and release, or volunteers in service to the Sanctuary -- I witness the ways in which the right kind of music instantaneously engenders Love, and how this Love silently attunes our thoughts and actions toward Unity."  -- Joel Karabo Elliott
