  1. Episode 1

    Kate of the Cottonwoods at the Border, Lochiel AZ

    Chrysalisbreak began with the impulse to challenge an internal narrative, to become conscious of it and to share my evolution. Now I am opening this channel for others to do the same. I believe in the power of art and story. Kate Scott is keeping vigil at the Mexico/AZ border under four healthy Cottonwood trees slated to be felled. The trees are well over 200 year old, perhaps older than this country. She is calling for construction of a double border wall to pause and notice the impact on the land, animals, and people. The wall costs taxpayers 17 million dollars per mile. I traveled to Lochiel, AZ with poet nan seymour to sit with Kate and to record her story.  She is a wise woman whose heart is guiding her to make a bold stance in the face of destructive forces.   American Scar is a short film documenting the impact of the wall.

    nan seymour's Invitation to Sing

    "There is a river under the river." Poet nan seymour has been saying this for years, and she is still discovering the depth of its meaning. After returning from the border town of Lochiel, I sat down with her to reflect on our experience with vigil keeper Kate Scott, the grandmother cottonwood trees soon to be felled, and the essential nature of singing. We are jubilant about our completion of a songbook and album we call This Desert, This Tree.  We are sharing this music to encourage anyone and everyone to sing!
