Minnesota singer/songwriter Peter Mayer writes songs for a small planet–songs about interconnectedness and the human journey–songs about life on earth and the mysterious and wondrous fact of our existence. He also writes songs about dress hats, pumpkins and pajamas, and other important stuff.
But I love the fact that he also writes insanely beautiful songs about spiritual awakening, oneness with the world, and deep connection with Nature.
His music has been performed by artists like Kathy Mattea, David Wilcox, and Darryl Purpose, to name a few. His work has been included in songbooks, church hymnals, and folk radio playlists across the country, and he is the recipient of fellowships from the McKnight and the Bush foundations. He has eleven plus albums to his credit, and to date, has sold over 100,000 of them.
Today, I am so excited to be sharing a conversation Peter and I had recently, discussing Nature, Spirituality, and everything in between. His Nature-inspired imagery, music, and the stories he tells, so resonate with my heart, and reflect what Mountain Zen Den is all about. You are in for a very special treat, and I don’t want to make you wait a moment longer, so lets just jump right in, C’mon!
