Unlocking Transformative Gatherings

Through Music, Story, and Somatic Practices

​

WHAT IS A KEYNOTE CONCERT? 🎶

     Not another speech.  Not another lecture.  Not one more PowerPoint. 

     A Keynote Concert is an "edu-taining," immersive, interactive experience that nourishes heart, spirit, body and mind, engaging the whole person with soulful stories, resonant songs and simple somatic (in the body) activities. 

     Many events focus on delivering information, but what if they could also leave your employees with transformative experiences that inspire lasting change?

Incorporating songs, sacred stories, and somatic practices into keynote speeches can elevate your event from a traditional presentation to a dynamic, multi-sensory experience that encourages deep learning, emotional connection, and personal growth.

WHAT'S "EDU-TAINMENT"? 🤩

     "Edu-tainment" blends education with entertainment. It’s a unique approach that makes learning both enjoyable and impactful. Rather than a dry presentation, an edu-tainment experience infuses the content with music, stories, and interactive practices, making it both educational and deeply entertaining.

     When managers and event planners embrace this approach, they engage their audience in a way that is far more impactful than standard lectures or slideshows.

     Think of it this way: participants don’t just walk away with new information; they walk away feeling energized, motivated, and empowered to apply what they’ve learned in real-time.

HOW COULD ITS DEEPER ENGAGEMENT BENEFIT US? 🧐

     By choosing Colleen as a keynote speaker who integrates songs, sacred stories, and somatic practices into my talks, you are offering people an experience that not only informs but also transforms. The impact on productivity, innovation, and well-being can be profound, helping individuals feel more engaged with their work and aligned with the company or organization’s mission.​

     This type of event can be especially powerful in fostering team-building, leadership development, and stress management.  It helps heal and fortify inside-out connections in what can feel like a chaotic, upside-down world.

Colleen has been sharing songs, backstories, and life gleanings ​with groups for several decades.  Since the pandemic she's been weaving more wholistic content into both live and virtual presentations.  Her background in transformational coaching, energy healing, and earth-wisdom ceremonies lend a genuineness to her presentations that inspires others to discover and embody their own unique spark.

What is the Power of Experiential Learning?

     Experiential learning is learning through doing—allowing attendees to interact with and reflect on the content being presented. When Colleen incorporates music, storytelling, and somatic (body-based) practices into her presentations, she creates opportunities for attendees to feel the message, rather than just hear it. 

     Research has shown that people are more likely to remember experiences that engage multiple senses and activate both their minds and bodies.

     By integrating song and sacred storytelling, Colleen creates an emotional connection that speaks to the heart as much as the mind, while somatic practices help attendees process and internalize the lessons.

     The result? A powerful shift that can influence behavior and generate positive ripples for long-term change.​
