Music and poetry are not only in my soul, but they are part of my ROOTS. My name is Angela Katherine Bennett, after my grandmother Katherine Larsen, an award-winning poet extraordinaire. My grandfather Larsen was a singer and my grandmother Marge Bennett was a musician.
I have spent my life acting, singing, improvising, writing/playing music and producing shows. I have also consciously taken paths of personal spiritual healing and transformation. At this point in my life, I consider myself a healing artist- one that aspires to facilitate transformation through art.

I believe the ROOT of most of our problems in the world today stem from a lack of balance between the yin (rooted in the right brain) and the yang (rooted in our left brain) energies within each of us. Our weakened yin energy results in a lack of action being rooted in deep compassion, empathy, intuition and inspiration. I believe that inspired art, in and of itself, aids in healing the yin energy and our connection to the divine. This healing is magnified when creating art in community. Thanks for "listening"!

"Dimensional"
As you are able, in the light,
To stand beneath the day-long sun
Knowing stars still in heavens wheel
Behind the dazzling blind of blue--
As you can look upon the tree
Spread-branched, roots wide and deep below
In secret darkeness, while you see
Only the trunk and greening crown--
So should the mind its fruit appraise
By what lies out of reach or sight;
For roots still nourish from beneath,
And worlds are there beyond the stars.
(Katherine F. Larsen)
