Trina Brunk

I’m a mother, an artist, a singer/songwriter. My love for my kids and for the earth as a whole feeds my muse and that’s what I write and sing songs about.  My early music roots were fed by many — my mother who loved to sing, my father who loves music, my second eldest sister who taught my siblings and me to sing in four part harmony, a wonderful high school choir director, an eccentric but brilliant piano teacher who believed in me.   Later influences came in the form of Peter Deunov’s Paneurhythmy and classical voice training.  And I’m always learning from my music friends and peers.  My deepest influence, however, is Life itself — Living Nature, Reiki, seen and unseen friends and guides whose contact ignites something in me that finds its most joyful and powerful expression in singing and making new songs, and sharing them.

Beginnings

I grew up in the ’70s and ’80s singing with my big family in rural Missouri. Friends sometimes joked that visiting the Brunks was like finding yourself in the middle of a Broadway musical, with someone bursting into song with only the slightest provocation.

Our home was set at the edge of a large meadow ringed by wooded hills. I remember hanging out laundry in the back yard, singing at the top of my heart into the immense space, hearing my voice echo back. Sometimes I was Maria from the Sound of Music; sometimes I was Orphan Annie singing about her hard knock life (this was if the laundry was excessive, which it could be in a family with nine children); always in the back of my mind I was imagining Someone Important overhearing me and saying, “wow, that girl has talent!” And then of course they would swoop me up out of my mundane existence, for what great future I didn’t even bother to imagine — whatever it was would be a fun adventure.

Years later, I had had plenty of fun adventures. Still no one had “discovered” me, and it was no surprise because in all my busy-ness I had put music as a last priority. It sat there, a kind of smothered longing, waiting for someone to notice and give it the importance necessary to come into the light again. I could mostly tell by the way I was jealous when other people sang in public that there was anything alive there for me at all.

Then one night I had a dream. I was sitting in the bleachers in a huge stadium with many other people. The space in the middle was a big blank nothingness. We were all just silently waiting. For what? A song came to mind — my friend Jeremy Roske’s song based on Donovan’s soundtrack to Brother Sun, Sister Moon: “If you want to live life free, take your time, go slowly. Do few things but do them well; heartfelt words grow purely.” I felt a little awkward because everyone else was so silent but the urge to just sing was so strong, and I decided to let it out. Me, nobody special, started singing into the silence because I liked to . . . I enjoyed feeling the sound come out, enjoyed the beauty and the meaning of the words, enjoyed the gift of the song from my friend. And then, when I was done, I got up, got my things and started to walk out of the stadium. Everything was still silent with all the people waiting . . . and then, as I walked up past one of the last rows of bleachers, someone else started singing. I felt gladness.

I could hear the whisper well up inside me: We are the ones we’ve been waiting for.

Now I live with my wonderful family as we weave art and love and prayer into the fabric of our daily lives. I write songs while making dinner, playing with children, going for long walks and yes, even doing laundry. I record in my home recording studio and can be found singing at concerts, gatherings, sacred services and retreats. It is a dream come true to share this music with you.

Blessed Be!

Dr Steven Farmer

Dr. Steven Farmer is an internationally recognized author of several best-selling books and oracle cards including Earth Magic, Animal Spirit Guides, and the Messages from Your Animal Spirit Guides Oracle Cards and many others. He is a Soul Healer, shamanic practitioner, ordained minister, hypnotherapist, former college professor and former psychotherapist, and brings a wealth of shamanic and psychospiritual healing methodologies to his healing work.  

Songwriting is a passion of his, and he’s presently working on his first CD in which he plays guitar and sings his original songs. In addition he enjoys hiking, camping, skiing, gardening, drumming, and playing the didgeridoo. He exercises religiously, primarily weight lifting, yoga, and cardio, and believes strongly that a healthy body along with proper nutrition is essential to wellbeing and vitality. 

Steven was born and raised in Iowa, the youngest of four children, and moved to California with his parents when he was twelve years old. He recalls being incredibly shy and socially awkward throughout his childhood, which was amplified the first couple of years in California, being the new kid on the block. In seventh grade he set the new school record for the 100-yard dash, which helped him emerge from his shyness to some degree and helped him feel a sense of identity for the next several years. He went on to play football through out high school and college, after which he played several years of Rugby.

Steven completed his Masters degree in Counseling Psychology, started teaching at a local college, then went on to obtain his license as a psychotherapist. Throughout his career he has studied additional healing modalities, including hypnotherapy, EMDR, Shadowwork, Breathwork, Somatic Experiencing, Reiki, and many others. His path naturally led him to the study and practice shamanism and shamanic healing. He became an ordained minister in the Circle of Sacred Earth Church and also went on to get his Ph.D in Psychology. In 1988 he published his first book, Adult Children of Abusive Parents (still in print), which launched his writing career.  

Over the years Steven has explored various non-traditional spiritual paths, finding creative ways to introduce spirituality and shamanic healing into his workshops and hiw private psychotherapy practice. Yet he began feeling increasingly constricted with the limitations outlined by the state for his particular license, so a few years ago he quit his private practice (though still remaining licensed) to write, teach workshops, and see private clients for spiritual healing.

Steven went on to publish several other books and oracle cards and has firmly established himself as a fresh voice in the increasingly popular spirituality and shamanism genres. He offers workshops and presentations on Soul Healing and other Earth centered spirituality topics, as well as private Soul Healing sessions in person and remotely by telephone, and is also host of Earth Magic Radio every Thursday, 4-5PM Pacific on ContactTalkRadio.com. Dr. Farmer makes his home in Laguna Beach, California, with his wife, Jesseca, and her two children, Serena and Arianna. For further information, go to www.DrStevenFarmer.com or call 866-621-0516.
