In this moving live performance, Grammy-winning artist Joanne Shenandoah honors the sacred women of the world and our Mother Earth through story and song. Blending ancestral wisdom, contemporary artistry, and heartfelt gratitude, Shenandoah invites the audience into a celebration of feminine strength, compassion, and the interconnectedness of all life.

The concert opens with a blessing for all women—the singers, healers, nurturers, and providers—acknowledging the Earth as the ultimate giver of life. Through her song “When the Eagle Calls,” Shenandoah leads a communal chant of unity and courage, reminding us not to turn away from the challenges of our time. Between songs, she reflects on women’s traditional roles as leaders, peacemakers, and life-givers, encouraging a return to the “good mind,” a Haudenosaunee teaching of harmony and collective wisdom.

Accompanied by guests from Golden Drum and flutist Brian, Shenandoah performs deeply spiritual pieces such as Your Legacy—a meditation on what we leave for future generations—and Chosen One, a love song infused with reverence for destiny and divine connection. The concert culminates with a healing prayer in song, calling upon the elements and the ancestors to guide, protect, and unite humanity in peace and compassion.

A luminous offering of Indigenous wisdom and musical beauty, this performance carries forward Joanne Shenandoah’s enduring message: that healing begins with gratitude, unity, and the voice of the sacred feminine.
