Music for Healing and Ceremony.

Sonic ritual, crafted with you to create the perfect mood for your most magical moments.

Listen to Music

When you need music to be magic.

There are times when you need music to be more than entertainment. You need it to be a balm for the soul, a sacred container for a special moment, a chalice of strength during transformation, a healing well during grief. You need space to relax, reset, reconnect, redefine, and re-emerge. During these times, you want more than musicians, but also priestesses who understand that life's deepest moments are worthy of ritual, and can hold that space with you.

For times like these, we offer Women of the Well.

Who we are.

Women of the Well are dear friends with a lifetime of music and healing arts steeped into their souls. Their work together is an act of service to humanity; priestess craft delivered through the art of music, ritual and vision. The original compositions and sacred improvisations of Women of the Well feature swirling violin, mandolin, vocal incantation, percussion and invocation. Their offering is the creation of sacred space where together we custom-craft ritual to meet the needs of the moment through song, soundscape, special ceremony, rites of passage, healing ritual and celebration. Women of the Well invite you to dive deep into the well of rejuvenation and draw up healing, vitality and hope for ourselves and for all Life.
