What Others Are Saying
At the heart of her work, she gave children the opportunity to listen and connect to beautiful music. Many times I saw her enter a room, sense what musical choice would be most appropriate and then immediately and deeply connect with the patient and family through her music. Thank you so much for visiting our patients and their families. Your songs and music were such a success with the kids. Even the children who are traditionally the quietest and most withdrawn enjoyed and even participated during your time with them. Your ability to choose the right song certainly provided a meaningful connection for patients and parents and from my perspective, was so exciting to watch.

Kary Gong Therapist, Kundalini Yoga Teacher, Journalist, London/CorfuClare has a gift that is other worldly. During the sound healings I have attended, my body has felt awakened and vibrant, even when my mind has quietened or slept. After the sessions, I have felt like a child – pure, cleansed, and unburdened. There is a primal healing that comes from the experience that is beyond words. The only way to understand it is to experience it. Thank you Clare. [Sound Healing]
Jennifer Comeau, Artist-Performer-FacilitatorWow, Clare! This is extraordinary. I felt my body sink into the earth, down through the mica and mycelium, where an underground river carried me through a cave-scape with carvings, like rememberings or instructions along its walls. And then toward a shimmering back wall that opened up. And there I was on the top of a mountain, gusty winds blowing my skirts. Around me, a sisterhood of ancient crones. What an initiation!
Clare’s music is hauntingly beautiful, sung directly from the heart, and often achieving an ethereal luminosity that changes the energy in the room instantly. On many occasions, when she has brought, even a brief, musical interlude to an hour-long event, it is her five minutes that people go away talking about. I’m always excited to hear that she is slated to perform, and recommend her with a whole heart to anyone looking for an outstanding, professional, and unusual musician.

Ben Roberts, Group Process Artist & Systemic Change AgentI have had the privilege of working with Clare Hedin since early 2019, and continue to be blown away by the power and beauty of her work. The unique way in which she brings together sound, music, and processes for healing and connecting deeply has helped me to embrace my own identity as a group process “artist.” I’m also grateful for her ongoing contributions to the Now What?! global gatherings, which have been extremely generative. She played a key role, for example, in the Sonic Spring offering that emerged as the highlight of the March-April 2020 gathering. Clare is truly a delight to work with and a blessing to all those who encounter her, especially those who work at the intersection of art and social change. [Ben, Now What?!
