About me

Au, Switzerland

Hello
I'm Elisa. I'm 59 Years young and I'm a Singer/Songwriter. I'm married and have no children. I used to work with children for many years, now it's time to do also more something for myself. Making musik ! I play the guitar and create my own songs. I work together with Kate Northrop. She is making very impressing Lyrics and I used to play and cooperate with her in a all women Band called Moonsnake/Sugarbox when I was young. The band is still existing with a few new memers.I made a break but now I returned after nine years to play the electric guitar and sing the backing vocals again. You can listen the CD we made if you wan't. I'll add the link below. Love Elisa

Keep our hope high

Let's Keep our Hope High   The song begins with a ritual chant, a greeting which includes all spiritual beings and their creator. In our material world, we often forget to give this priority. But the eternal is the true nature our spirit, even if the material is its partner. These kinds of rituals have been important for countless generations, but with time they are being forgotten. Yet it is precisely these which allow us to draw strength from the source. The song is a tribute to a ritual that is practiced by the indigenous Lakota people.

Find Us (Beyond)

  • Award Winner

Many of us are stuck in our own heads, isolated from the truth about others and the earth that supports us. We see an idea of someone instead of who they are in this moment and who they could become. We fail to see the universality of what our own symbols mean and get lost in specificity. "Find Us" is a call to humanity to believe in a better way when conflict arises. Not to bypass our world's problems, but to approach them from a heart-centered place -- a place beyond ancient walls, tired stories from the past, and endless wars. Meet us there.

Walls

We have too many walls, both physical and psychological, that are coming between us in this amazing, miraculous world. When we look more closely at them, we discover that they are built with fear: fear of the differences between us, fear of being separate, fear of not being accepted and connected to others. When we open up the conversation and talk about it, the fear melts like ice in the sun, and we can be together again.
