Phoenix Song Music

Join us for an in-person day dedicated to healing and connection. This supportive event is designed especially for these tumultuous times and all that we are individually and collectively grieving. Discover ways to move forward with understanding and compassion through a collective grief altar, creative processes, and community. We will spend a part of the day outside held by nature.
In this daylong, Monique Miyake will lead you in writing and visual art processes. We will make beauty and meaning out of our pain through collage by creating a grief companion card you can take home with you.
Phoenix Song will lead you through active sounding practices that help you express and soothe, and then offer a passive sound bath where you will receive nourishment and love through vibration.
You're not alone — come be part of a caring community that will grieve and praise together. This day will soothe your soul and help you feel connected to others in your heartbreak, which will provide some strength as you navigate loss.
Please bring a sack lunch. Bring layers and sun protection. Snacks will be provided.
Please reach out if you need financial assistance to attend this daylong. We want to support you and will do everything possible to work with your budget.
Monique and Phoenix lost their 17-year-old son to suicide four years ago and are honored to accompany others on this deep path of grieving together by offering ritual holding and somatic and creative resources that have helped them on their journey.

Grief Daylong with Art Making, Sound Bath, and Nature

Two anniversaries. One unforgettable night. Join us July 4th on Mare Island for the Spirit Ship Celebration!

This Independence Day, Mare Island lights up for a night worth remembering. Join us for the Spirit Ship Celebration — an evening marking two extraordinary milestones: America's 250th birthday and Vallejo's 175th anniversary.
Kick off the evening with live music from The Floorshakers, magic by Brian Scott, food trucks, refreshing drinks, and a dedicated kids' zone — then watch the sky come alive with a custom drone light show to close the night. Tickets are affordable and limited — grab yours before they're gone.
Two and a half centuries of American history. 175 years of Vallejo. One spectacular evening on the waterfront that helped shape them both.

Through a performance piece featuring theater, poetry, storytelling, and music,&nbsp;<a href="https://phoenixsongmusic.com/about/" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener">Phoenix Song</a> and <a href="https://moniquemiyake.com/about/" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener">Monique Miyake</a> share their journey of grief and healing after the loss of their seventeen-year-old son to suicide. Experience how they navigated the unimaginable to create this show as an offering of deep love, healing, and the transformation that becomes possible when we allow loss to reshape us into more authentic versions of ourselves. Directed by Vicki Dello Joio.&nbsp;
This performance is for anyone carrying personal or collective loss. It invites us into a shared space of witnessing, where one story can hold the stories of many. As grief is expressed and honored, it can begin to move—within us and between us—opening the possibility of integration, meaning, and renewal.
<blockquote>“When the heart breaks into a million pieces, the only thing left to do is let the light shine through.”</blockquote>

A Q&amp;A talkback will follow along with an artist's reception of Monique's art prints. 10% of sales will be donated to the Trevor Project, the leading suicide prevention and crisis intervention nonprofit organization for LGTBTQ+ young people.
Tickets are $25 in advance, $35 at the door. For discounted tickets, please email phoenixsongmusic@gmail.com.

Reviews:
<blockquote>What a profound gift you have crafted through fire and offered to the world. An invitation to join you on this sacred journey of wild and inconceivable grief and rage and beauty and love. I see your love as such a testimony of grit and grace and what it means to become human together. Feeling waves of awe and gratitude, my heart shattered into a thousand pieces, transformed into butterflies. --Aryeh, educator and activist</blockquote>
<blockquote>What a spectacular performance of vulnerable heartbreak and beauty. You have gifted us the Art of Soul Bearing the most painful human experience. Your collective performance allows us all to be free to ourselves to go deep, open and outstretched to the truth and wholeness of allowing the pain of grief all the way in. I am so honored and grateful for the witness experience and the place it touches in me. I feel safer in the world to be me in my own brokenness. --Tree, bereaved mother and retired palliative care nurse</blockquote>
<blockquote>I had been processing a lot of mama grief (for my mom, my grief about my kids. etc) when I went to your ritual, and it really helped move something for me. Just being reminded of and seeing your powerful process and how your surrender to grief has really transformed you in such profound ways was a beautiful reminder to me that opening to grief is really the medicine. I respect your radical vulnerability in sharing all of that and letting people see the shadow and that there’s medicine in being with it!--Anastasia, mother, therapist</blockquote>
