When we heal ourselves, we heal the World and that's just what Empowered Hearts aims to do: encourage deeper levels of self Love and acceptance so as to birth healing change for the collective. Empowered Hearts is a vision to gather people together and share new perspectives and insights of releasing fear by stepping into a stronger vibration of Love. Through local retreats and workshops, Katie Gray and Bridget Law combine their wisdom, friendship, music and love to birth the change they wish to see in the World. Bridget's Waldorf education and backgrounds in dance and music led her to a creative lifestyle from a young age. Learning from a variety of adult female role models pulled her personality beyond what was only available within her family ties. By the time she was in her twenties, she was a recognizable and accepted fiddle player in a genre that at the time was dominated by men. By her early thirties, after extensive national touring, she and her band Elephant Revival, were headlining Red Rocks annually. Now, she's taken a step back to focus on what is most important to her--home. Currently she is building bridges in the Colorado music community for up and coming artists, festivals with a focus on sustainability and collaborations with amazing friends--such as Katie Gray and their endeavor to bring the experience of Empowered Hearts to people who are ready to go deeper. She is never short on opportunities to share her music and can be seen appearing as a special guest or alongside her husband in their band Tierro with Bridget Law. She is also helping with the production of Sister Wind, a festival spotlighting Women artists, on August 26th, 2018. Katie is a singer, public speaker, activist and intuitive counselor. She has collaborated and/or shared the stage with artists such as: Band of Horses, Ani Difranco, The Polish Ambassador, Nightmares on Wax, Random Rab, Elephant Revival, The Burned, Ooah and more. Through the Emerging Women conferences in Boulder, CO and New York City, Katie spoke and performed her music to open the stage for both Brene Brown and Eve Ensler. In 2013, she spent 2 weeks touring with Eve Ensler on a journey through India for the One Billion Rising movement in which she spoke and sang out against violence and abuse towards women. Through years of studying meditation techniques and acquiring confidence and wisdom along the way, Katie leads motivational workshops and retreats ('Voice of Truth' and 'Empowered Hearts') with the focus to reprogram the mind to see ourselves and the World with a new vision of Love, forgiveness and fearlessness. Katie currently lives in the San Juan Islands of the coast of Washington State where she is writing her first book, completing her 3rd full length studio album and care giving for her beloved mother with dementia.
