Songbear Music is the website of musician Danu Fox.

Why Songbear?

In the animistic traditions the bear is seen as a healer, an animal who goes deep within Mother Earth for half of the year. There the bear dreams, gives birth perhaps and emerges bringing energies out of the darkness, into the light. It is an animal of immense power and is associated with creativity, healing, heart, dreaming, the earth, looking within and physical manifestation.

Singing is an act of power. A very personal sound, coming from deep within going out to the world much like the bear’s journey. It carries many messages and connects directly with the divine, the centre, the soul.

It is my prayer that we use our songs wisely, that we learn to craft our sound so that it speaks truthfully, from the heart and that our songs serve to heal ourselves, each other and our relationship to Mother Earth as we go forward into this extraordinary time on the planet. We can make a difference with our voices. Let’s use them well.

BELTANE Sing the Michael and Mary Lines from Cornwall to Norfolk.

2012 is the year! It is time to sing ourselves back into balance and bring ourselves into right relationship with mother earth and more specifically with our own part of her, our own territories. Sending a huge injection of gratitude and love into the lines in song we aim to bring vibrancy and abundance to the vital life force of the lines, surrounding areas and ourselves. This promises to be an exceptional ceremony, with dowsers measuring before and after and as many people involved all along the lines as we can muster. Spread the word and register your interest with Danu via email or the Facebook page.

“When a sufficient number of contemporary people have reentered nature’s soulstream and become conscious contributors to the unfolding story of the world, industrialized nations might mature into sustainable, ecocentric and soulcentric communities, inhabited by people who are wildly creative, imaginative, adventurous, tolerant, generous, joyous and coopertaive members of the more-than-human world. This is my prayer.” Bill Plotkin, from his book Soulcraft

This is my prayer too and reestablishing a Songlines tradition in the UK and beyond? This will help us ‘enter nature’s soulstream’. Bon Voyage!
