We caught up with the brilliant and insightful Banah Winn a few weeks ago and have shared our conversation below.

Banah, looking forward to hearing all of your stories today. Can you open up about a risk you’ve taken – what it was like taking that risk, why you took the risk and how it turned out?

I think every step of the journey has been taking a risk, from putting myself out there, to creating something new and authentic that I haven’t seen anyone else do. I feel my biggest personal risk has been creating an event and concert experience that doesn’t have its own set lineage or structure built already to support it so people can easily understand based on a previous experience.

The idea of creating something completely new feels totally isolating at first, yet I truly believe, and have experienced that the payoff and the benefit to the world is so much greater than taking the path already traveled.

Doing my first tour, and presenting harmony to the world was a huge risk for me. I wanted to see if I could tour and share this new modality and do it totally by donation, to see if it would be successful.

It really was a miracle that all the shows came together, people showed up and enjoyed it enough that they were inspired to donate so generously that actually was the most successful and abundant tour I’ve ever been on.

Some backstory, Harmony is basically an interactive concert that usually involves a bunch of call and response singalong songs.
There is an energetic even spiritual aspect to it, as my intention is to bring people together, uplift and take the most profound journey available as a group together.

How is that done? Well it’s different every time, and I always use my intuition to lead, that means strong intention but never a plan. I always make decisions on the fly and sometimes the experience takes us into other elements like story, breath, mediation, but nothing is off limits.

It’s the art of having an anchor and a loose structure around music and it being an involved experience but always being open to how that might play out and that the most profound and interesting things that may happen in ways what we don’t expect.

I came to all this from a lifetime of being a musician, singer, songwriter and producer.
And then going on an intuitive quest and living in places like Sedona, and working as a psychic, while turning my whole life into an intuition experiment.

The result is a balance between focus and surrender that is pure magic.

Banah, before we move on to more of these sorts of questions, can you take some time to bring our readers up to speed on you and what you do?

What I do is called Harmony. They are events and client work that combine music and other healing modalities.

It’s a concert, a sing-along, a sound healing, and an intuitive non substance induced ceremonial journey that brings people together from the heart.

Biggest problem at the solves, is lack of connection to self, others, And their inner child.
I found even when I do feel connected to music at a concert I don’t fully feel connected to those around me. The second concert ends everyone kind of goes back to their own space. In harmony there’s something about participating in the whole process that really opens people up to connecting with each other from the heart.
Also giving everyone the space to just play, be silly and have fun in a way that is safe is so needed in this world.

The creation of Harmony really happened by accident, I had an idea to create an event that was entirely intuitive, and I brought my guitar to the first one and it was a total hit and felt fully formed right off the bat.
Total joy fest, super playful, and really tapping into that inner child.

There is also a big nondenominational spiritual aspect to what I do. It’s really about empowering people to be their own way shower. Giving real time, examples and experiences of the magic that happens when we follow our intuition and learn to understand it.

In my one on one work, I help clients with intuitive and psychic development. Being of service in a way that helps empower them on their own spiritual and life journeys.

I’m most proud every time I bring people together and a whole room is smiling and singing in a way where everyone just looks so free and happy.
I’m also so proud every time I have a session and the person leaves saying how much better they feel and how much more hope or joy they have moving forward.
That in itself is so valuable because I know that those emotions are seed for change and positive experiences ahead for them.

In your view, what can society to do to best support artists, creatives and a thriving creative ecosystem?

I think I would just encourage everyone to be curious. It’s very possible to become complacent in our own lane of life and there’s nothing necessarily wrong with that, but by trying new things we are opening ourselves up to levels of satisfaction and joy and understanding we didn’t know are possible.
In the process we get to support others in their art and endeavors.

Who we are is constantly changing and evolving so curiosity is such an important part of that.

Be curious as a creator and be curious as a receiver and consumer.

Also when something moves you, pass that on. Whether it’s by supporting the artist, or sharing their work, or just sharing the passion it ignited in you in your own way, let that spark live on so that flame of inspiration is eternal.

Is there a particular goal or mission driving your creative journey?

To be a key part of the changing landscape of the music and concert industry.
The conscious music evolution.

To bring together missions of people to sing together in upliftment.

To create concerts, sessions, and retreats that are profoundly healing, joyful, and genuinely loving experiences.
