Karie Hillery

FANS

This magical combination of Karie Hillery and Chris Pinnick has yielded a musical experience of tranquility, depth and great beauty. 

When you need to create a musical oasis for yourself, play "Meanderings." Shakeh

 

Meanderings is a lovely musical journey through a variety of emotional landscapes. Listening to the soulful sounds of Karie Hillery's keyboard and Chris Pinnick's guitar was calming––a great remedy to my busy schedule. 

I enjoyed Change as one of those roadtrip collections that made a long trip speed by, filled with inspiration and toe-tapping both. Lee

Dear Karie, I have been listening to your beautiful voice singing these precious prayers and my “Birthday Week" now has been filled with the magic you have shared. I am enchanted by a few of your songs especially and really want to learn them for my own personal prayer/song/chant that I do every morning. I am mesmerized by “Shalom Peace Salaam” and “Mother Earth Chant” and am learning them as I drive. 

I know you enjoy the water as much as I do and someday I would love to swim with you. Until then dear “lady of Light” we can swim together in our dreams. 

My appreciation of you Is as deep as the sea. Trustworthy is the word that continues to come. Thank you. 

So here I am with the Linzer torte David made for my big 70. I will always remember you for being there for me in song. 

Blessings🌹 Noëlle

Beautiful! You have the voice of an angel. Thank you, Karie, for your inspirational, healing music and being YOU! All the best to you reaching more people!! Blessings of love and joy! Rayna

Karie, You are doing amazing things to keep everyone’s spirit positive. You are a blessing!!!  Love you, Mike D

Lovely message. Your energy is powerful and gentle. Janet and Narayan 

I wanted to say "Thanks" for your monthly newsletter.  It provides some semblance of "normalcy" to read this, and I hope you are keeping your spirits up.  You certainly help me raise mine.  Best always, Rick 

I shared your newsletter with our retreat committee.  I met you years ago in Stanford’s atrium and I’m friends with Greg Kaufman, music director.  Your beautiful music is cheerful and a balm during these incredibly stressful and divisive times. With love and peace, Jenny 

BEAUTIFUL Karie!!! How did this big voice get in such a petite body?  Perhaps because your voice is not of your body but of your HUGE soul. Love you Sweetheart! Kim 

Your song was something I’d been praying someone would sing 🎶!  Your words were of divine guidance & filled with wisdom. I loved your honoring the sacredness of all beings and living sacred things. We all are one and can be harmony , love and peace. Your mermaid voice did it. Also the goddess within you radiates. I appreciate you and Allen very much so.  With all my heart I humbly bow to your hearts with benevolence💖🙏🏽💖💝 Love you all, Dyani ManyHorses Davis

I am back on Vancouver island and as I am emailing you, I have your CD playing -- and I love it-- We are all one  !  In love, light & Gratitude,  Diane 

Karie,  We appreciate your music soooo much. We play your cds everyday or when we really need some solace. Just wanted to say how we enjoy your music. Thanks for everything. We wish all the best and happy new year. Blessings support peace harmony calmness - Suzanne and Lyle  

Hi Karie.  Thank you for your sweet note. Just want you to know that I am enjoying your CD very much, and particularly love In the Silence. I will be using it for my morning meditation.  Can't wait to share your music with my Sacred Circle.  I know we will meet again. Much love, Denise

I've been listening to your CD Together We Rise. I LOVE it! Such inspiring words, and you sound magnificent! Much love, Barbara 

Thank you, Karie! Your talk was just what I needed to hear--really timely. And I'm so glad that I got to sit with you at lunch. You're so honest, funny, and wise--an original, authentic soul! We have been very fortunate that you have chosen to come through Lake County all these many years. And we'd be so blessed if you were to do it again. When you begin to tentatively plan next year, I'd be very happy to pencil you in. Wishing you and Allen best--you are on my prayer list. With love, Barbara 

Dearest Karie, You were marvelous yesterday.  You added so much to the event, especially with your special song.  You are so wonderful to do this for us, to give of your time and talent.  Everyone had such a good time.  So many said it made their day!   You were actually the catalyst for the variety show idea.  When you turned down the idea of a concert, I knew I had to come up with a different idea, a different way of looking at it.  The variety show came out of that.  So thank you on so many levels. Love, Bobbie 

Hi Karie, God bless you. Still at it hard I see, you are a pip.  When I first looked at your photo I saw your Mom and Dad and then your sister. Keep up the good work you do a lot for many spiritually and more than you know for your own soul. Take care. Love to you and Alan -  Vinny 

Hi Karie, Listened to some of the excerpts of your songs you had on your page while doing my early morning workout on my exercise bike this morning & I was truly mesmerized by the beauty & passion of your songs. 
I can truly see how your songs inspire unity & peace & help others to be the change they wish to be in the world. 
You are a truly gifted writer & singer and Spirit flows through your words and melodies. I can honestly say that there is not one of your songs I listened to that I did not love. 
Your songs are equally moving & inspirational. I loved She's the Earth, Let's Live As One, and all the others equally. 
 One of my passions is to visit different Unity and other New Thought sister churches in my travels & share in fellowship with like minded Spirits. 
Though it has been quite some time now that I have been to Cali, I am hoping to visit again soon as soon as Spirit opens the way to do so. I would love to attend one of the services you are playing at in the near future. 
Keep up the great & powerfully moving work and inspiration, Karie. God is truly moving through you. May God Bless, Guide & Protect you always!!! Love & Light! Your sister Spirit, Carrie 

Keep making beautiful music. There cannot be a more wonderful PEACE than music. It touches everyone. Be well and continue your life's mission. Love to all, Ted - NY

It fit so perfectly with the peacefulness of our Shaver Lake campsite situated under huge pine trees with all sorts of little "critters" running around on the ground...you probably had no idea just how much your music & your sharing so openly helps everyone with whom you have contact. I'm here to tell you that you're awesome & I treasure the beautiful music you share with me and the rest of the world." ~ Pat  Atascadero, CA

Hi Karie, I just met you briefly at the Chico New Thoughts Center.  I have only gone twice there and it was the last thing I expected was to hear some music that I liked so much that I wanted to buy your CD's !  I have been listening to them all day I like them so much !  So many of the words echo my beliefs it is kinda uncanny to me.  I bet you would sing my favorite song Imagine so beautifully !  Anyway......I just wanted to let you know that I love your music and lyrics and I am so enjoying them, thank-you.  It is always kinda weird to me that sometimes you just happen upon something that fits your life so well, when you least expect it- makes me definitely believe in a higher being (: !!   Have a wonderful Thanksgiving ~ Lori  Chico, CA

Dearest Karie,    You were marvelous yesterday.  You added so much to the event, especially with your special song.  You are so wonderful to do this for us, to give of your time and talent.  Everyone had such a good time.  So many said it made their day!  Love, Bobbie
