Carolyn McDade & Marcia Gleckler's "Visions of a Sacred Land"

Carolyn McDade’s music has been central to Unitarianism for years, and is becoming important to Catholics. These two songs serve as bridges to sensing, connecting to, and appreciating the Creation in a spiritual way.

In the video below Carolyn collaborates with missionary / author, Marcia Gleckler, to connect us to the sacred lands they each called home for many years.

“If I took the theology of my childhood, I had to be active.”

Carolyn McDade

From Carolyn’s website —

“. . .  I now name myself simply a woman of faith seeking with others to touch what matters. My passion: freeing women's generative energies to act as social, planetary, cosmic beings on behalf of ourselves, one another, and the wellbeing of the whole. My ardent desire is that as a movement we nurture the myriad ways of creative expression as paths to deepen human consciousness, to envision a society worthy of this blessed Creation, to act in ways that are transformative. 

I plant my songs where women seek to lean strongly, confidently, passionately into their love of life, knowing that it is our essence to create. Generativity is a natural state of life. Living our lives in ways that heal and uplift, that bring our human family to right relationship and reverence, is deep and beautiful purpose.

The river sings on. . .”
