Genevieve Walker

Violinist and composer Genevieve Walker grew up in a musical household. The sound of a violin tuning was the sound of home. She lived in the classical music world for many years and then as a young adult her interests took her traveling the world. She was influenced by different cultures and approaches to music and began weaving these influences into her playing. For many years Genevieve has recorded and performed with extensively with Krishna Das and Nina Rao. Genevieve composed her first solo album, Walking Home, when she was pregnant with her first son. Two kids and some life later, she has completed her second solo album, Home Songs. This album is a shift in her orientation, drawing upon the sounds and melodies of everyday life to express a collective ode to the longing and cultivation of home. In addition to being a violinist, Genevieve is a psychotherapist and yoga teacher. She views her approach to these disciplines as a way to unwind deeper into ourselves and unite with the home that exists within us all.

“It’s such an amazing and spiritual location–I came back feeling rejuvenated and recharged… It was so very special knowing the place belongs to the Dalai Lama! I loved our room. My favorite things were that there was no TV in the room, the beds were so comfortable, and it was so quiet and relaxing there with the windows opened. The grounds were amazing…”

“Deep in the Catskill Mountains exists a very special place—the Dewa Spa at Menla. On a snowy, late winter afternoon there is nothing better than a long deep soak in one of their tubs infused with the 5 Nectars bath blend. The tranquil sounds of this hidden valley can be heard through a cracked window—the Pantherkill Stream and the sweet symphony of our bird friends chattering about the upcoming spring. This is the perfect place to leave the world behind for as long as possible!”

“The property is amazing. The creek running through it is one of the most amazing places to sit and listen that I have ever been to. I work in the forest industry and am constantly exposed to the wonders of the natural world, and I feel like this is one of the most profound natural spaces I have been to in my life.”
