Energy Healer Storyteller
Welcome, My People! So glad you came by.
This site is for you -- if you feel that "splinter in your mind"; things just ain't right, deep in their soul.
Perhaps you've caught a glimpse of True Connection, but watched it flit away like last night's dream.
I get that. To catch a whiff of True Connection, and then it's gone, is cold cold cold.
I know how good that True Connection is, when it's gained.
This site is for those who know there's more...but don't know how to find it, how to make it fit, and stay.
That's good; that's why you're here now. That's okay; that's why I'm here.
In practice for decades, I help those who want to actually consciously Connect, and Be in Touch.
We've come here to be Connected to the blessing of our world. I'm here to teach True Connection.
It's so Cool.
You've come so far; let's talk.

“Not only was the presentation an excellent musical experience, it was also a wonderful model for teaching the importance of cooperation and teamwork, as well as being a tool for fostering a sense of community among participants….I highly recommend that any group or organization consider having this very talented, energetic musician as a presenter. His contribution will be significant.”

"This CD reflects some of what I've experienced since recording Ancestral Whirlwind in 1998--just before heading to Ireland: my girls growing up; my string band research; the Black Banjo Gathering; Sankofa Strings and the Carolina Chocolate Drops; my gigs all over the country and beyond; my growth as a storyteller--all that and more played their part in the creation of this portfolio of songs. We're so glad you stopped by! -- SGW, 2010"

Ancestral Whirlwind: Percussive Music by Súle Greg Wilson - DIGITAL DOWNLOAD
In Fall of 1998, prior to flying across the Pond to spend a month in Northern Ireland on an arts residency, Súle went into the studio with family and friends to create an album that evokes the breadth and feeling of one his live, acoustic shows. Utilizing conch trumpet, udu, djembe & dunun, calabash, shekere, banjo, body, and didjeridu, in Ancestral Whirlwind we have an album that encompasses Native invocation; African songs of slavery; US story and song of the Middle Passage and Ibo's Landingl; Cuban rhythms on Ibo ceramic drums; Gospel tunes; Sea Island body percussion; even a little acoustic hip-hop, and an Aboriginal benediction.
"This music is about marriage: the spiritual joining of intent and actualization, the melding of movement and energy, the merging of the spirits of these musics' traditions, the union of Those Here with Those Beyond. We work to bring us all into that. Amen, em Hetep. Súle Greg Wilson, October, 1998"

Making the Most of 2020!
Let's Make Time & Do What We've Gotta Do
HAVE YOU GOT THE SPIRIT?
It could have been my Junior High School's Girl's Drill Team (best image!!).
Wherever I learned it...I love it, still!
The chant has stayed with me, and serves as a fun tool for folks coming together in positivity.
Here it is in action at Grace Presbyterian Church in Springfield, VA.
Next time you and I meet, let's do it together!
Two days before the event at Grace, I shared the same piece of music with the kids at Roots Charter School (in Northwest DC, less than a mile from where I grew up), twenty miles from the congregation above. These kids are all in it, too!
I love it, so!
