About Griffin House Griffin House is an American singer-songwriter and storyteller.  Touring and making records for over 20 years, House has a discography that includes over 13 albums.  His debut record  “Lost and Found” (2004) was featured on CBS Sunday Morning by music critic and then VP MTV/VH1, Bill Flanagan, who named House one of the best emerging singer-songwriters of our time.   After forging a loyal fan base through years of grassroots touring as an opener for acts such as John Mellencamp and the Cranberries, House broke through as a national headliner in 2009 with an appearance on Late Night with Craig Ferguson and the release of his underground hit “The Guy That Says Goodbye to You is Out of His Mind.”   The music documentary “Rising Star,” released on Amazon Prime in 2019, chronicles House’s journey through the music business, as he attempts to balance the challenges of life as a traveling modern-day troubadour with marriage, fatherhood and sobriety.   House’s music has been featured on prime time television shows such One Tree Hill, Rescue Me, Party of Five, and Everwood, and reviewed in magazines such as Paste, No Depression and Rolling Stone.  American Songwriter writes “if you want to be blown away by raw talent, look no further than Griffin House.” His latest release “The Tides” is a five song EP recorded with Grammy Award-winning producer Jacquire King and is set for release on Aug 29, 2023.  Information Source: Swallow Hill Music | eventbrite

Join us for a 3 hour Shamanic Immersion into the power of journeying with Ceremonial Cacao, Restorative Breath and Sacred Sounds. Soul Flight is a transformational sound journey. Multi instrumentalist Tim Morrison Live Loops Sacred sounds with an array of instruments and his voice to take you on a deep Shamanic sound journey. Lie back, relax and let the sounds take you on a deep journey inward. The journey begins with a Cacao ceremony to open the door of our heart, allowing us to step through, discovering all of its mysteries, ready to embrace the space of openness and pure love. It gives us the opportunity to focus on intention, reverence and greater purpose. It is followed by a gentle restorative breathwork that focuses on deepening relaxation, before we enter into a deep sound Immersion. You can expect to hear multiple layers of Sacred instruments played with intention to create a meditative space that evokes deep transformation, personal healing and so much more. As the sounds move their way through our nervous system we receive emotional clearing, changes in our mind, a deep inward focus, journeys where we can receive guidance, insight healing, transformation and so much more. Sound has the potential to dissolve and transmute any negative or heavy energies as the frequencies of the Sacred sound brings us up into a higher vibrational state and in doing so all that does not match this frequency, will naturally fall away. Combining ceremonial Cacao, Breath and Sacred sounds gives us a truly powerful and unique combination. A gentle heart expanding ceremony guided by the power of sound and Cacao. Sacred sounds guide you to release, realign and anchor into who you are. Join the experience to discover that there is far more to consciousness than what resides in the physical body. Are you ready to reconnect to feel the depth of who you are? To truly feel your soul pulsating inside of you? Together we sit in ceremony, we connect and we journey into our heart space. Surrendering gently into the process and enabling the sacred sounds to wash through us transmuting all that no longer serves. The great gift of combining Ceremonial Cacao and Sacred sounds is that they are both high vibrational energy tools. They both enable you to release, realign and rejuvenate with ease and grace. They both gently carry away what no longer serves from a deep internal journey. As we drop deeper into ourselves the sounds relax us deeper and deeper, with no need for the body to activate a cathartic release but rather a deeply meditative, nurturing and nourishing journey. The power of sound has been known for aeons but science is only just beginning to showcase it. It is one that you just receive first hand for yourself and the experience speaks for itself. It has the potential to move and positively impact our entire being. Suitable for all levels and backgrounds. You will be provided with a deeply transformative and supported space and tools to take home with you to use day to day. REMINDER * Stay away from caffeine on the day of ceremony * Eat a light breakfast * Bring a Yoga Mat * Bring a water bottle * Bring a mug for your Cacao * Wear comfy clothes * Bring any comfy blankets or cushions you wish to prop yourself up with * Bring an eye mask if you wish * Bring a notepad and pen in case you wish to journal any insights or guidance you receive during ceremony Refund Policy * STRICT CANCELLATION/ NO REFUND POLICY WITHIN 7 DAYS OF THE EVENT * Tickets may be transferred to someone else but this is up to the ticket holder to organise.

Eliza’s most recent release, Home, co-produced with multi-instrumentalist/producer Don Richmond for Realiza Records, offers more of the intimate, challenging and insightful songs for which she is known, and features a wide range of material that reflect her appreciation for family, home and hearth in a time when those things have become essential to maintain sanity and decency. Cameos include a gorgeous duet with Robert Earl Keen, “How Deep”, that asks some of life’s important questions, and a sweet duet with longtime friend Mary Chapin Carpenter, “Sparrow”, on the appreciation a songwriter feels for fans and friends who inspire the songs into being. Standout tracks include the upbeat and hopeful “World Keeps on Singing”, the stripped down love song, “Witness” featuring her guitarist brother Tony Gilkyson (X, Lone Justice, Chuck E. Weiss), the Ukrainian mother’s wish for normalcy and safety in the harmony-laden “Sunflowers”, the gospel tinged “Safety Zone”, and the epic storytelling ballad “Man in the Bottle” about her hit-songwriting father,Terry Gilkyson, featuring snippets of his songs and a cameo with longtime family friend Van Dyke Parks. The title track “Home”, written by Karla Bonoff, reflects the ways that home can be a sanctuary in the most difficult times, and wraps up this ten song collection that gives us another glimpse into Eliza Gilkyson’s unique perspective on these critical times to which her music bears witness.   Information Source: Swallow Hill Music | eventbrite
