Host a Public Event or Private Gathering
Concerts, Workshops, and Walks
Experiences that inspire a sense of place, connection, and well-being
These programs offer a simple but powerful invitation: to slow down, listen, and reconnect with place, creativity, community, and what matters most.
When people invite Erica to offer a program for their series, event, or gathering, they’re getting more than just a program. They are creating a chance for people to come together and to share, create, and feel reconnected to themselves, to one another, and to the places that surround them.
Attendees leave with a renewed sense of belonging, connection, and well-being—something we could all use more of these days.
Erica has many years of experience inspiring communities —first as a touring singer-songwriter with six recordings, and later through her work with conservation organizations, national parks, writing classes, and mentoring programs.
Her programs have been presented at concert halls and retreat centers, and from national parks to women’s wellness gatherings. She has given concerts and workshops at festivals and community events across the country.
She brings a warm, grounding, and creative presence to each event, rooted in both artistry and insight.
Ways to Gather
Ideal for concert series, seasonal celebrations, retreat centers, festivals, libraries, and community events.
Sense of Place Concerts
Experience an intimate journey through song, story, and conversation that helps people connect with themselves, their surroundings, and each other.
With recognition from NPR's All Things Considered, Yankee Magazine, and the Washington Post, and six CDs to her credit, Erica's concerts offer top-tier artistry in intimate, community-centered settings.
Sense of Place Concerts – Seasonal, location-specific journeys celebrating where you are
Milestones & Celebrations – Customized programs honoring an organization's story or a community milestone. Also available as a unique customized “Legacy Concert” celebrating a personal celebration.
Campfire-Style Concerts – Cozy, participatory performances of original songs and some sing-alongs.
Creative Workshops
These welcoming workshops include writing, reflection, and sensory awareness practices to help participants explore stories of place, memory, and meaning. They help restore clarity and well-being in a warm community atmosphere.
Erica has offered workshops at community events and learning centers across the country, from Women’s Wellness Events to the Kripalu Center for Yoga and Health.
Touchstone Story Writing Workshop – guided writing and sensory awareness to uncover personal stories of place. Sharing these stories evokes an individual and collective sense of belonging.
Vision Board in a Box™ – a creative reflection and hands-on project for clarity, direction, and inspiration. Sharing what is discovered creates an immediate sense of connection between people.
Sense of Place Saunters
These reflective outings weave together songs, readings, sensory invitations, and conversation—creating relaxed, memorable sense of place experiences that help participants slow down, notice more, and see familiar places in new ways.
Drawing on her work with parks, museums, and cultural sites, along with her experience as a workshop facilitator and performing artist, Erica creates engaging, place-centered experiences that connect people and place.
"Erica's music takes the audience on a trip through space and time. When she paints a landscape with song, she strikes a chord that resonates at a deep emotional level. This powerful food for the soul moves people to question the conventions we use to value property—and to value themselves as stewards."
— Baltimore Woods Nature Center, NY

"At the end of the 3-part writing prompt, I had enough material to write several powerful essays as well as a new idea for an inspirational card deck. If that wasn't enough, Erica listened to what I wrote and, as a demonstration, in less than a minute had whipped up a terrific song." — Giulietta "Julie" Nardone, DCR Workshop Series,Upton State Forest, MA
