Winter 2020 Virtual Recording Project
You Can Change the World by Paul Barton is melodic medicine for these distressing times, reminding us that we really can change the world from wherever we are, in big and small ways, right now. In the time between the Winter Solstice and the Spring Equinox, twenty-seven fiercely OK humans came together from across North America (& beyond!) to sing Paul's song and reaffirm the truth of this sentiment. We bet you will walk away from this video feeling empowered to make a difference, even if just by taking care of your loved ones or offering a kind nod to a stranger. Here's to changing the world!
Song Lyrics
Part 1:
You can change the world From wherever you are
From wherever you are
From wherever you are
Part 2:
Right now, right now
Anything big or small
Right here, right here
You can answer that call.

The One People, One Voice Project
On May 22nd, 2020, we invited our community members to blend their voices with ours in singing the last two verses of One Voice by Ruth Moody. The result is truly more magical than we ever could have imagined.
In a time of physical distancing, 31 voices joined together from across North America to sing out in love and trust. We will treasure this video and experience as one of the many blessings of quarantine times. We hope you will too!
Big thanks to the songwriter and to all those who shared their voices with us. We are stronger together!
