Portland folk songstress Johanna Warren shared the video for “Cleansed By Fire,” the meditative track off her acclaimed new album Gemini II, today. The clip, a piece about former lovers dissolving their broken bond and reclaiming autonomy, shows Warren dancing in ocean waves while singing in Icarus-inspired imagery: “We, two as one / Reached for the sun / Well, we tried.” Watch here
Gemini II is out now on Warren’s label Spirit House Records.
Johanna is currently on her Plant Medicine Tour — she’s been collaborating with local herbalists and biodynamic farmers in each city to talk about their work, and each performance involves an element of guided sound healing meditation. Warren is a certified Reiki master and will also be offering Reiki classes and private healing sessions in select cities.
