Dance, Music, & Song Camps
Saro Lynch-Thomason (she/her) is a song leader and folklorist living on the occupied lands of the Cherokee in what is now called Asheville, traditionally known “Togiyasdi” (“the place where they raced boats”). She uses song to help connect our modern bodies to folk knowledge, people’s history, and everyday reverence for the animate world. She has studied and taught folk songs from Appalachia, Scotland, England, the American South and beyond for more than 15 years and creates her own songs inspired by tradition and the contemporary “heart songs” movement. She currently runs the Western North Carolina Pagan Choir, teaches online courses, and is a vocalist for the Celtic band Émigré.
