Evelyn Ward de Roo is a soundwork practioner and leader of woman's music events. She offers her gifted vocal improvisational private sessions, fashioned after Gary Diggins Soundwork as Soulwork training, in her studio in SW Ontario. Music is the connection to the Divine which sustains her as the creative and energetic person that she is. A native Winnipegger, she was weaned on Gilbert and Sullivan, Big Band and church music. She has been soloist, choir/band member and director at different stages, also acting and singing with both professional and amateur theatre. For years she has led a women's a cappella group.
Evelyn's passion is to create safe space, especially women, to experience the sacred. To this end she has organized art workshops and spiritual retreats, built labyrinths, and run women's events and drum circles. She is a "creative intuitive", self employed as an Interior Redesigner, nurturing souls with beautiful organized space. She is also a public speaker and entertainer. Her fibre art is a unique blend of traditional needlework and mixed media, reclaimed fabric, and natural objects.
She lives with her husband in Petrolia, Ontario and summers in Gimli, Manitoba. Their two adult children continue to transform their lives, bringing them love and joy. She dabbles in film, tennis, art, fair trade issues, prop building, and beach combing. She's often found doing stuff with stones.
