“Your concert was 'full of wonder' - beautiful and moving beyond words. We are blessed to have you in our community sharing your vision, your light, and your voice. Thank you for inspiring me and helping me to remember!”

“I highly recommend Katy Taylor as a guest performer for any spiritual conference or training. I have worked with Katy on many occasions and find her to be not only a gifted performer but also an impeccable professional. Her music is mystical and reverent, adding beauty and wonder to any gathering, regardless of its particular spiritual orientation. People come away from her performances deeply moved and inspired but also profoundly quiet inside as if they had been engaged in prayer, which in fact they have. Katy and her music are just the healing medicine that our world needs during these turbulent times.

“Exactly what I needed... Your voices are from God and I truly bless you both. Thank you again.”

Katy's Original Compositions
Most of my own original music reflects my own spiritual orientation of finding holiness in many forms, and in particular, in the Earth and in the Feminine.

Many pieces were inspired by actual Celtic prayers, which weave a simple, folky connection of Earth, Mother, and Christianity. I found myself reading or praying them and a melody would well up in me. I've edited and adapted some of the original texts, adding the the Goddess (hearkening back to pre-Christian Celtic spirituality). What I love about these prayers is their connection to Earth, to everyday activities -- that we are not separate, but are a part of normal life, from getting up in the morning, to going to bed at night. This is how I'd like to experience my own life more.

Singing Meditation
Singing Meditation was created by Ruthie Rosauer. In this participatory singing, we sing simple chants and rounds in a group and then dissolve into silence for moments of meditation and stillness together. Then out of that stillness, we start to sing again.

This is a form of group spiritual practice, and is open to anyone who wants to sing. All the songs are simple and sung through many times so that there is time to learn them. The rounds and chants come from many spiritual traditions, are in English, as well as other languages, and express universal themes of devotion and spiritual practice.

Hildegard von Bingen—Visionary Chant
Hildegard was a 12th century German abbess who received music through divinely inspired visions. Her music is mysterious, flowing, luminous, earthy, passionate. Katy offers a brief overview of Hildegard's life and remarkable contributions, as well as an introduction to the structure and tonality of medieval chant as found in her music.

This workshop can be presented in two hours or expanded to a full day, and is open to anyone who would like to experience Hildegard's music in a deeper, richer, more embodied manner.
