A Conversation with Judy Collins
I am honored to welcome Judy Collins to the Voice Rising Show on July 19th.
OMTimes Radio - Voice Rising with host Kara Johnstad
July 19, 2021, 11 am PST | 2 pm EST | 7 pm GMT | 8 pm CEST
My heart opens wide to continue the conversation that began when I heard her voice for the first time. I was 8. Standing in my cornflower blue bedroom, my portable record player spinning her songs, as I looked onto cornfields. As a young singer, I found comfort in her clear, strong voice. She played guitar, piano and sang! Me too, I proclaimed with 12! The Judy Collins Songbook accompanied me to Berlin at the tender age of 20, along with 2suitcases and my guitar. The rest is history. For all the singer-songwriters in the house, stay tuned. Judy Collins and I will deep dive into voice, songwriting, and how our voices and music can play an essential role in social activism and changing our world for the better.

OMTimes Radio - Voice Rising with host Kara Johnstad
Airing June 28, 2021, 11 am PST | 2 pm EST | 7 pm GMT | 8 pm CEST
For centuries and across cultures, sacred ceremonies using plant medicine were vital to collective well-being. These long-revered healing plants, ayahuasca, peyote, cannabis, and mushrooms nourished individuals and were crucial for collective well-being. Yet, these long-revered healing instruments have been largely forgotten by today's society. Why? What might we be missing? And what role do music and plants play in nurturing and uplifting body, mind, and spiritual well-being? Music is a tuning fork for the brain. Can the frequencies and harmonics in plants inspire healing? Can music help us "get high" and feel good? What role does sound play in building peaceful communities? Join voice-visionary Kara Johnstad, and GRAMMY® nominated composer, recording artist, and researcher Steven Halpern in an in-depth conversation on sound consciousness and his new album release, Cannabis Dreams. In 2021, with legalization in many states and with the medical benefits of cannabis more widely accepted -Halpern's co-composed masterpiece is released, and we celebrate. Learn through plant medicine and music to reprogram unconscious patterns that no longer serve us. Explore the principle of consciousness and change. Co-create a sound world.
