New Developments & Big Announcement

Hi beautiful people,

In some ways this past year I’ve been out and about more than ever, gathering women through The Center for Female Sovereignty through its two programs Songbird Supper Club and Soulbirthing. Yet at the same time, I’ve been incubating my newest artistic work and not performing often, letting go of the expectation or the habit to strive. More about that below.

I feel immense purpose and pride in hosting Songbird Supper Club and doing all I can to make sure women’s voices are heard. I’ve learned first-hand that we heal within community. I’m so nourished by it and witnessing others feel that nourishment is the greatest fulfillment. The Arts Council of Winston Salem has given Songbird Supper Club a large ARPA grant over the next 2 years so that I can find a way to make this event sustainable for years to come. I’m so grateful to them and everyone who has taken part and cheered on Songbird Supper Club. I’m so excited about what is possible. Please let me know if you would like to be a volunteer or intern to take part in deepening our roots so this canopy can reach tall and wide, touching every part of our community and beyond. Please look out for ways you can help Songbird Supper Club be sustainable - through purchases of our upcoming merchandise, sponsorship, membership, and tickets to special events. It’s my mission to keep our monthly event FREE so that it is accessible and can always be a consistent gathering for our whole community. More here.

I am also profoundly fed by Soulbirthing - the group of women I’m gathering globally online and in the woods on retreats. I’ve witnessed women blossom through this gathering in a way that I believe heals centuries of oppression, abuse, and silence. When a woman believes in her own power, the world cracks open, and I believe this is essential to healing our relationship with Earth. Women can join us anytime and begin traveling the wheel together. It is donation-based. More here.

My new work has been underway for over a year now…and I’m seeing what it is and what it wants to say…all the pieces falling together. Because I haven’t been striving, it’s been a miracle to experience the magnetic pull of manifestation as people I’ve wanted and needed to collaborate with have come to me, rather than the reverse. I’ve always been the one to be reaching out and trying to make things happen with my projects, and instead I’ve been shown what happens if you just shine your light, the people you resonate with will find you. I’m so grateful, thrilled, and excited to be collaborating with some new artists. There’s also been something so essential for me to witness in myself: writing and creating this new music completely by myself. It has proven to me I can trust my instincts without second-guessing or minimizing my gifts. This year has been about inner focus and incubation in order to shed all the old and bring in the new. Some day soon it will all come to fruition. Thank you for being on the journey with me.

Shine your beautiful light,

Cashavelly
