Now Is The Time - Dis Moi by Heather Houston

Written in response to the divisiveness we are experiencing in our nation, this song is a call for those who have the consciousness and heart to see beyond our differences and hold all the parts of this being human. I see all you love warriors out there!!

A simple little ditty for learning the difference between unison and harmony singing. Lyrics: I am singing in unison I am here now And I belong to myself I belong to I belong to earth and sky and water too I am singing in harmony I can do this And I believe in myself I believen in you And I know that all the world can do this too Heather Houston © 2022

"I should unpack my car, I should start some laundry, I should go jump in the ocean, I should...." But all I really wanted to do was lie in the shade on...

This one came through for myself and my retreat participants. Let's surround ourselves in love as we move through the world - like a protective ball of energy. Lets feel it moving through us, in us, as us... Lyrics: The energy of love surrounds me The energy of love moves through me Guiding my way in all I do and say Yes the energy of love surrounds me Heather Houston © 07/2022

A fun greeting song created for my Song Village community - and for everyone to enjoy. Once my participants get the hang of it, I invite them to walk around and sing one whole round to one person, then to another, and so on and so forth. Harmonies can be improvised. All for fun! Lyrics: You belong here in this place You belong here in this place Oh I see you And I see you seeing me to I belong her...

This song was inspired by an AMA with Charles Eisenstein. The conversation centered around the polarization that can occur when two or more people have differing opinions. Sometimes, rather than staying open to another's point of view, we will hold our ground in a position of "rightness," making the other person "wrong," sometimes so much so that we will tear the other apart in our minds, in our h...

This one dropped in while in deep meditation one morning. I often receive little medicine chants while in meditation, but don't often record them. This one wanted to have wings, so I recorded it while still in a state of calm. If you listen closely, you can hear birds chirping in the background. Heather Houston © 2022
