Spiral Muse
Meet the Band
Dionne
Dionne is a Drumming Priestess whose voice carries the nearly forgotten memories connected with her Native American lineage (Yurok, Karuk, Hoopa and Apache). She uses her skills to channel a fierce and beautiful spiritual power that leaves listeners spellbound. Music has always been the most powerful instrument for healing in her life and she is grateful to be sharing this gift with others through the conduit of Spiral Muse. She has been writing and recording amazing music for decades and remains committed to personal and collective healing through music.
Alison Diana
Alison has been singing and visioning musical performances since she was a small child. She is a prophetic songwriter who draws inspiration from her embodied healing journey as a woman and her commitment to personal and collective transformation. Her visionary dreams for the group call Spiral Muse forward. She is the group's webmaster, archivist, blogger
and recently has taken on recording engineer duties. She is a published author and a licensed psychotherapist and psychedelic integration consultant in private practice.
Lana Dalberg
Lana is a mother, violinist, activist-fundraiser and published author. Her most recent book, "Unwrapping Christmas," is a memoir that takes us through her experiences of pain and resilience in connection to the holidays. Her first book, “Birthing God: Women’s Experiences of the Divine” explores women’s stories of spirituality and faith. She has been collaborating with Spiral Muse since 2013. Lana brings a patience
and heart centered wisdom to the group and has recently begun contributing lyrics to some of the band's songs.

She holds Master’s degrees in theology and ministry and has over 10 years’ ministry experience, including directing retreats, teaching classes on religion and spirituality, and leading small group spiritual communities. She writes music, plays guitar, sings, and has worked her magic arranging those divine Spiral Muse vocals. She leads women’s circles and offers spiritual direction services through Brigid’s Flame.
