    Song-Carriers & Changemakers: The Sacred Art of Singing Together with Kristin Johnstad

    What if singing were more than expression—what if it were a form of healing, a sanctuary, a bridge between worlds?

    Join voice visionary Kara Johnstad on VOICE RISING for a deeply personal and soul-stirring conversation with her sister, Kristin Johnstad, a community-based artist, singer, dancer, and spiritual guide. Drawing on her roots in classical voice and gospel performance, as well as her work with hospice choirs, chant, and contemplative song circles, Kristin invites us to rediscover the voice as a sacred tool for connection, liberation, and belonging.

    Together, the sisters explore themes of ancestral memory, communal harmony, and the transformative power of collective voice. With stories woven from their shared past and visions for the future of song as spiritual practice, this episode is a celebration of beauty, resilience, and rising together.

    In this episode, you’ll hear about:

    – Honoring our song-carrying ancestors and musical lineages

    – Harmonizing in community as deep listening and trust

    – Voice as a tool for grief, joy, liberation, and spiritual practice

    Whether you’re a singer, a seeker, or someone longing to reconnect to the wisdom of your own voice, this is a conversation to soften into, sing along with, and carry in your heart.
