NEILL visits Northern California to celebrate the release of the fourth and fifth NEILL albums, SMOKE: offerings to Earth and Sky, as well as EARTH: Songs for Mother. I cancelled a tour with EARTH in April of 2020, and SMOKE was released digitally during the pandemic. I am excited to share music in-person again.
Family Music Circle (60 min)
Contemplative and nature-based songs for children and families
Join NEILL in a song circle especially geared towards families. We will share simple songs, learn harmonies and rounds, and send you home with a few new favorite songs to sing together.
Mantra Meditation Concert (90 min)
A musical meditation experience, NEILL leads Sanskrit and Buddhist mantras in a traditional call and response style with accompanying meditation and breath practices.
NEILL meditative concert (90 min)
NEILL is joined by her husband Noah Roen for a Contemplative and participatory concert experience for all ages. Bathe your body and mind in healing sounds of Sanskrit and Tibetan mantras, with some American folk songs sprinkled in for fun. NEILL and Noah will fill the space with vocal harmonies, gentle hand percussion, drone instruments, and singing bowls. All ages welcome as long as children seem interested and are able to maintain a relative level of quiet for the benefit of other listeners.
More about Nicolle NEILL:
I am a devoted Vajrayana practitioner in the lineage of Chogyam Trungpa and trained as a meditation instructor in the Somatic Practice lineage of Reggie Ray (2010-2019). I have finished many traditional form practices including Ngondro under Reggie and Ngondro and Green Tara under Lama Tsultrim Allione and Chandra Easton at Tara Mandala. For me, meditation practice grew out of a love of Yoga Asana beginning in 2003, and a path of teacher training from 2008-2012. I am a senior Prajna Yoga teacher under Tias and Surya Little (500 hour certified with additional advanced trainings) and have taught asana, yoga sutras, chanting, Sanskrit, and meditation across the country.
I am also a founding member of the four woman Balkan band Rumelia Collective (2010-present) based in Santa Fe, NM. In 2024 I am traveling with my two newest NEILL albums: SMOKE: offerings to Earth and Sky, as well as EARTH: Songs for Mother. I cancelled a tour with EARTH in April of 2020, and SMOKE was released digitally during the pandemic. I am excited to share them in-person again. I currently have five of my nine elements collection available in physical form as CD Books and streaming online on all platforms.
