Songversations invite you back into the woods to tell more stories, sing more songs, burn more fairy tales and shatter the “mirror, mirrors on the wall” that tell us what we should look like and how we should live. We have been told beauty is on the inside but we think the outside is pretty gorgeous, too. Come as you are, order some nachos, we think you’re perfect just as you are.
Songversations: Shanan + Rhiannon weave Songs, Stories + Spells into a multi-genre ceremonial cabaret
We Have Been Told We Dissent, We Resist, We are Burned
