Sisters of the Moon – Heather Houston

March 9, 2021/in Chant 3 English Heather Houston Community, Empowerment, Hope, Mothers, Women /by Heather

An affirmation of who we are as we weave the web of love across the world. May we continue to rise together! I usually teach only the melody of this song and just have fun singing it! 🙂

Lyrics:

We are sisters of the moon
And daughters of the sun
We are mothers of the world
Our voices they are one

We are lovers of the earth
And guardians of the land
We are weavers of the dream
Together we are standing

We are healers
We are teachers
We are dreamers
We are revealers
Of the TRUTH

We are sisters of the moon
And daughters of the sun
We are mothers of the world
Our voices they are one

We are lovers of the earth
And guardians of the land
We are weavers of the dream
Together we are standing

We are the voice of this age
Let your voice rage rage like thunder

Infinite Bliss – Heather Houston

January 29, 2020/in Gathering Song, Layered, Polyrhythmic 3 Made Up Syllables Heather Houston Birds, Calling in Elements, Community, Earth Wisdom, Gathering, Joyful, Rhythmic, Upbeat /by Heather

This fun polyrhythmic chant came to me on the winds at Pinnacles National Monument. I love to hike alone there and experience “the hills are alive with the sound of music” kinds of moments. 🙂 It’s vast and spacious and filled with fields of wildflowers! Absolute bliss! So this song got titled Infinite Bliss.

I like to really break down the rhythms on this one, pointing out the up beats and down beats at the beginning of each phrase.
