Each circle is an invitation share your heart through song— a space of collective listening, expression, and community. By gathering in this way, we nurture both local song circles and global projects supporting children and future generations.
This Altar of Song program is keep our singing alive and community of song and hearts growing and is the beginning step to grow our dreams.
Take a look at Our Three-Step Vision :
- Altar of Song Sharing: Open song circles where everyone has the chance to offer original songs, poems, or intent- and some originals may be offered (then chosen) to then perform with the choir.
- Medicine Weavers and Mystic Performance Choirs: Enhancing individuals performance experiences and bringing these songs to wider audiences to uplift community and raise funds. Next season is the summer
- Recording & Legacy: Recording original songs with our record label — splitting proceeds with the songwriter and global projects for children.
We were able to donate $1,004 to Caminos Canicas Children’s project in Guatemala because of your presence and support at the Sister Winds Gathering!!
Sister Winds is a non-profit based out of Boulder Colorado. It is our mission to empower women, the last 17 years have had an emphasis in music and healing arts, while redefining “Sisterhood” to be inclusive to all people, races, ages and genders. We are “sisters” to LGBTQIA+, all nations, all beliefs, all indigenous nations, and people doing their best to make this world a better place.
Sister Winds put on Family Festivals in Colorado for 13 years, when the pandemic hit, we tried doing one on-line festival and then went into slumper to re-vision and dream what we wanted to become. In 2022 we started waking up with new visions: building community performance Choirs in Boulder Colorado, creating “sisterhood” with indigenous healers in Guatemala, and creating a foundation for a longer term dream of helping children in need in Latin America with children’s homes or orphanages. This year is our first bigger gathering since the pandemic.
In our last trip to Guatemaya we met Kanika who has started a children’s home for street children in San Marcos de Laguna, Guatemala. We hope to bring more bridges of support and fundraising to her dream with our current Gathering, and meanwhile are happy to promote her Go Fund Me Fundraising Page.
Our Sister Winds Summer Choir Showcase was dreamy! Thank you to all that made it to our sold-out event in August 2024. Truly Magical. We are so honored that through your purchase of tickets we raised funds to do some recording projects…. this is also dreamy… making stepping stones for our fundraising for our future visions.
Our Hermanas Del Viento en Guatemala 2024 & 2025 went beautifully. We were graced by the blessings of the relations we are building with some of the indigenous healers around Lago Atitlan. The Mystic Choir singers showed up in such grace and participation and felt honored to sing at a ceremony with the Sanadoras (healers) and other events. We returned to continue nurturing the sisterhood we seeded there.
