Spirit & Song
A Day of Community, Connection, and Co-Creation

Shea Theater Arts Center
71 Avenue A
Turners Falls, Massachusetts
From your first conversation with a medium to the final encore of an unforgettable concert, Spirit & Song is a celebration of creativity, connection, healing, and community.
Spend the day exploring Spirit and intuition, Reiki and energy healing, local history and art, and the kinds of conversations that invite curiosity and reflection. Then join us in the evening as TNSA's Pond Lily Project takes the stage for Eight Voices, One Stage, the culmination of months of songwriting, collaboration, mentorship, and original music.
Whether you come searching for inspiration, guidance, beautiful music, or simply a day spent with welcoming people, Spirit & Song offers experiences that are both deeply personal and joyfully shared.
Spirit & Song is presented by The National Spiritual Alliance as a fundraiser supporting our nonprofit mission and the preservation of historic Thompson Temple in Lake Pleasant, Massachusetts.
Reserve your Psychic Medium Fair appointment, purchase concert tickets, or spend the entire day with us.

Eight Voices, One Stage
A Songwriters-in-Residence Concert
6:00 p.m. Doors | 7:00 p.m. Music
The Pond Lily Project comes together for one extraordinary evening as all five Artists in Residence and three Artist Mentors perform original music shaped through months of collaboration, mentorship, recording, and artistic growth.
About the Pond Lily Project
The Pond Lily Project began with a simple question:
What becomes possible when artists are given room to create together?
Over the past several months, five emerging songwriters and three experienced mentors have shared ideas, challenged one another, written songs, recorded music, and built lasting creative relationships.
The result is far more than a concert. It is a living example of what happens when artists are supported, encouraged, and given the opportunity to grow together.
Eight Voices, One Stage is the public celebration of that journey.
The Pond Lily Project was made possible through support from the Massachusetts Cultural Council and the Montague Cultural Council.
