About this Event
Sama Shakti and Julian Baker create concerts that blur the line between performer and audience, inviting listeners to slow down, breathe deeply, and reconnect with themselves and one another. Heart Awakening Music is a celebration of presence, harmony, and the timeless power of singing and sound to heal, unite, and transform. Through a heartfelt blend of original songs, uplifting cover songs, and sound healing frequencies. Whether you're longing to sing along, reflect, or simply be carried by the music, this is an opportunity to embody presence and open your heart embraced by community and the power of the collective. Children are welcome and encouraged to attend this event.

Her original albums, Simple & Profound and Heart Song, reflect her passion for weaving together storytelling, nature, and the healing power of the human voice.
