Coming from a family with a long line of musical history, "Evelie was singing before she could talk," according to her mother, a radio and club singer herself. Evelie performs with and directs Mahal, a kosmik-ethnik- ekstatik- trance-tribal fusion muzik ensemble; the Kismat-Mahal Kirtan Ensemble; the Bodhi-Gaia Ensemble and Chorus which leads antiphonal spirit chanting and other devotional music; and the Spiral Dance Chorus and Band for Reclaiming's annual Samhain celebration.
She currently sings with Ya Elah (www.yaelah.com); Voices of Nature Chorus for Jennifer Berezan's "Praises for the World"; the California Revels Chorus; and Reverent Offering. Evelie teaches Core classes for Reclaiming and at Witchcamps in Vermont and California; Master classes in Women's Spirituality; conducts playshops in chanting, drumming, ritual magic, movement and dance. She also teaches music in the public school system as well as in her private studio.
She has co-led and sung at Techno Cosmic Masses (derived from the Sheffield, England work); has sung for the mayors of San Francisco, and Oakland of the past 8 years; has sung at festivals, faires, handfasting/ weddings, and other rites of passage. Evelie founded the Babaylan Emerging: Apprenticeship and Mentoring {BEAM} Program; she facilitates satsangs, meditations, and creative workshops; as a spiritual healer, and intuitive counselor, she offers individual and group spiritual guidance. Whether leading sacred ceremonies, healing, performing, or teaching, Evelie is passionately involved in bringing all Beings to a timeless world of music and art as ancient as it is fresh today.
