Meet Collin Martin
Meet Ananda Murari
Ananda Murari spent years living as a monk before returning to ordinary life — and then becoming a father. That arc is the engine of his music. His eclectic indie folk draws on storytelling, fable, and hard-won personal reflection, tracing the tension between devotion and desire, solitude and belonging, spiritual life and the beautiful mess of being human. His latest project, No Coins Needed, documents the unexpected territory of fatherhood through that same honest lens. Whether solo or with a full band, Ananda performs with the quiet conviction of someone who has actually lived what he's singing about. Having taught retreats all around the world, he brings a patient and intentional attention songwriting and creativity.
Meet Kayla Diana
Kayla Diana is a touring and studio musician, voice alchemist, song catcher, and transformational facilitator devoted to helping others reclaim the freedom of their authentic expression.
Drawing from vocal embodiment, circle singing, improvisation, and creative ritual, she guides participants in clearing the pathways that block creativity and reconnecting with the living current of inspiration. Her workshops offer a playful, heart-centered space to heal old stories about the voice, awaken intuitive creativity, and experience music as something that moves through us rather than something we have to create.
Through communal song, deep listening, and embodied presence, she invites people to remember that creativity is always available—and that every voice belongs.

Colin’s work sits at the intersection of creativity, presence, emotional honesty, and community, inviting people to trust their voice, embrace imperfection, and remember that music is not just something we perform—it’s something we live. His original songs and facilitation have impacted individuals, families, communities, and organizations across the country, helping people reconnect with themselves and one another through the universal language of music.
