Madi Sato is a singer & sound healer of Japanese Ainu & Irish heritages who gathers and shares traditional chants from diverse cultures and composes original medicine songs resonant with the music of Nature. She had a fifteen-year career as a songwriter and performer and recorded three albums: Soul in Love, Madi Sato, and Return to the River. She is a lifelong dancer versed in an array of traditions and styles, both old and new. Madi leads the SINGING WATERS branch of the organization and is devoted to empowering the voices and bodies of women through communal singing and ceremonial dance. She also guides dedicated singers in the journey of creating and offering songs in loving service to the sacred waters of Earth’s body.
The work of PRAISING EARTH is anchored in a commitment to revitalize the oral traditions of song & poetry in their original context of prayer and ceremony as a means of rewilding the human relationship with language and voice, with fellow men & women in community, and with the natural world and all earthly species to better navigate the current ecological crisis and serve as inspired stewards of a re-balanced, newly-flowering Earth. Based in New Mexico, we also serve California annually, bringing song and poetry oral traditions to the Bay Area.
