She participates and leads rituals, ceremony, and prayer with people of all religions, which is one of her passions. Bekka's music is fueled by her love for frogs (and other slimy and fabulous creatures); the sacred wildness and importance of feminine energy; and helping children to receive and share love.
Bekka feels equally at home in a Synagogue, a Native American Tipi ceremony, and singing in a gospel choir. She loves to swim in the ocean, explore hot springs in her birthday suit, and hike mountains. Her divine purpose is to help people move through their fear and live their true BLISS.
She has travelled the Moroccan frontier on camels into the Sahara Desert; taught art, dance, and improv to inner-city and homeless teens; Line Produced a feature film in Death Valley; performed a world-premiere opera in Bangkok, and done body and healing work with cancer patients. She feels that the feminine juice emerging in all of us is going to SAVE THE PLANET.
