Since it is hardly possible to have all of you over for a cup of tea…a warm welcome and thanks to you for visiting my website! Here you’ll be able to find out where I am playing and when, look at my workshop schedule, and order CDs.
Living in rural Prince Edward Island together with my husband Brett and son Patrick enables us to pursue many passions, but at a slower pace. Things like gardening, painting, kayaking, snorkeling, creating an artist's retreat, discussing metaphysics, and yes—playing music. A blessed life indeed!
Take a glimpse into this world and soon it will become obvious that my relationship to music is always taking new turns, and that my passion for life extends well beyond the world of sound. When you come by this site you might find images of me fixing the jack on one of my Airstream trailers, building a stone courtyard at the beach retreat, or teaching a voice workshop in Mexico.
Warmest regards,
Teresa

Rock Barra Retreat - Summer 2009 Workshops and Songs for Seeds Concert Series
Rock Barra is a spectacular twenty-acre beach-front artist retreat located on the north eastern shore of the Island. A non-profit cooperative run by volunteers, the Retreat has hosted workshops in many disciplines for five years and two incredible outdoor feasts with Chef Michael Smith. The Retreat is nestled among self guided forest walking trails, a labyrinth and meditation circle made of Island stone. Workshops are conducted in a building erected in birm style architecture and was created as a set building for a Daniel Day Lewis film.
The Retreat offers eclectic programming for creative restoration and expression. This year's program offers another chance to take in sessions sold out in 2008, Co-Creating Heaven on Earth with Martin Rutte, Weekend Sound Yoga Camp with Teresa Doyle to name a few. As well, the Retreat is thrilled to welcome highly regarded facilitators, Joan McDonald and Alice Taylor of The Self Mastery Series, with their session, LIfe Visioning.
In tribute to Island farmers and PEI's farming community, the Retreat hosts a concert series, Songs for Seeds, with musicians both homegrown and Islanders by choice. All farmers are the Retreat's guests at these concerts and heirloom seeds are encouraged for trade by one and all.
This year, the Retreat is pleased to extend its Songs for Seeds series by way of three additional concerts, Songs from All Shores. These concerts will feature a medley of musicians residing on and off PEI representing cultures around the globe.
Concerts at Rock Barra are an intimate experience, enhanced by the cathedral style, venue. A cozy 25-30 seater, music, musicians and audience provide a intimate seamless-ness not unlike the wave to the shore ebbing and flowing just outside the doors. All concerts are on Sunday's at 7pm and are $10. For all coming to a concert, pack your picnic supper and enjoy Rock Barra Retreat and all it has to offer.
I have ten recordings released on my own label, Bedlam Records. My latest is Late Night Parlour, a blend of smart, sassy, swing tunes from the 1940s. For more information on each recording and to buy CDs online, click here.
