Calling Our Spirits with Valerie June

Valerie June is a star being. Her music invites us to trust the path, to live with our whole hearts, and to embrace joy and attunement while navigating darkness. Celebrating the release of her new album, “Owls, Omens, and Oracles”, Valerie joins Rebecca to share how she connects to plants, neighbors, owls, ancestors, power, breath, and her own spirit, which she calls upon and even seems to pray to in her celestial songs.  Rebecca and Valerie mention writer and activist adrienne maree brown, whose books include “Pleasure Activism” and “Emergent Strategy.” Rebecca quotes from adrienne’s moving bio of Valerie. This independent show is a delight to make, and it also takes a lot of time and care. If you’d like to support our work with a gift of $33, click here.
