Music is the Medicine
Unitarian Universalist Community of the Mountains
August 16, 2026
featuring special guest Copperwoman
Beth Karow, Worship Associate
Copperwoman is a “song-carrier” who catches songs that emerge out of the energy and common experiences of our growing, living beings. They inspire us with wisdom and insights and rise from a place of core connection. We’ll join Copperwoman in singing simple, yet profound songs that feel instantly familiar and that nourish feelings of closeness and unity; creating a fertile ground for prayer and healing: meeting the moment with musical medicine.
