Drawing at The Circle

 
 The Circle was a 5 hour participatory concert experience ~

Bridging culture through song & story. 

Nov 22, 2025 at St. Mark’s Cathedral in Seattle WA

Imagine a 1000 person Revival Choir “in-the-round” under a 24’ hanging globe, in a world-renowned cathedral. It was a blessing to do Touch Drawing during this seminal community event. I added color to many of them after the event. 

“Let us come together in these times of societal division to sing into the beauty of what unites us as humans … Let us gather during this harvest season, under the glow of our Mother Earth, giving voice to the hard truths and hearty gifts at the core of our collective story.”

 
 
 
 
 
Opening Ceremony with Paul Chiyokten Wagner  (Coast Salish Flutist & Storyteller) and Alyx Somas (Native North American Ritualist) guided us into our evening through song and prayer, offering stories about this time of year, and intentions for our time together.

 

Ma-muse  (An uplifting, 4 piece folk-soul-revival group with hauntingly-beautiful female harmonies) led us in collective song to open our hearts wide to the incredible moment of history that we find ourselves in. 

 

Black Medicine  (Aaron Johnson and his bellowing trio of sibling song holders) led us in vocal expressions born deep within the roots of the African diaspora, inviting us into a sanctuary of soul, celebration, and sanctity.

Max Ribner (and the 10 piece “Resilient Beings Orchestra”) will lead us in a raucously-powerful collective song experience that you’ll never forget. Culture Tenders, Song Leaders & Wisdom Keepers will be highlighted throughout this set. The Revival Gathering ritual team then led us in a closing ceremony.
