The Earth Woman Tree Woman Quartet

Connie Pwll Walck Tyler, activist, teacher, writer, composer, and mystic, received her most important education working in the civil rights and peace movements in the sixties. This has been enhanced by constant "continuing education" in various progressive movements. She taught public school for twenty-one years working with pre-school through high school children from every different background imaginable. Pwll has danced, sung, and played music for her own personal enjoyment since she was a small child. Now she does improvisational dancing, singing and story-telling for recreation and personal growth with InterPlay. She agrees with the poet Rumi when he says, ¿"Dancing is not just getting up painlessly, like a leaf blown on the wind; dancing is when you tear your heart out and rise out of your body to hang suspended between the worlds." She earned an MA/MDiv in Theology and the Arts from the Pacific School of Religion where she did her field education in homeless shelters. She also has a BA (Denison University) and MA (University of California, Berkeley) in English. Pwll has set many of the songs in the Earth Woman Tree Woman Quartet to music which can be heard at www.earthwomantreewoman.com. She also has a blog at www.deephum.com. You can find her at "Connie Pwll Walck Tyler" and "The Earth Woman Tree Woman Quartet" on Facebook, and "Connie Tyler" on Twitter. Tyler teaches piano and music composition in Berkeley, California where she lives with her husband, Kenneth; two dogs, Netzakh and Hode; and her cat, Magic; and feeds Little Z, a feral kitty who belongs to herself.
