About This:
Written and recorded during and just following Trish’s pregnancy with their son Sam, both the lyrics and music are packed with that depth of mystery and wonder. A blend of ancient rhythms, contemporary melodies, and deeply personal lyrics about life and transformation, Unfolding offers listeners the musical span of global chants in "Healing, O Healing" and the title track, "Unfolding"; to the eloquent lyrics and delicate melodies of "Illumine Me" and Labyrinth Walk." Features "Birth Energy" by Kenny Loggins, a song written for his own then-pregnant wife, celebrating the mystery and power of a birthing spirit. "Unfolding" is home to the celebrated “Welcome to this Circle”, a radically-invitational song present at weddings, healing services, baptisms and dedications, yoga and meditation classes, retreats, 12-step meetings, and worship services all over the globe; and deeply moving to Trish, this song is sung and played for the freshest of lives on our planet at home births and in delivery rooms, welcoming in new life. The theme is transformation: How do I see the Divine at work in this moment of life?
