Welcome
. . . to Arvel Bird's official website. Arvel's been busy working on a new project, but not what you might think. Although he continues light touring and composing new music . . . he and Kimberly have founded a Spiritual Center in Cottonwood, Arizona!
Arvel and occasionally Kimberly continue to tour, so keep an eye on his schedule. Most of the time, however, you will find Arvel in Cottonwood.
The Center of Universal Light is located at Old Town Center for the Arts. Arvel and Kimberly share the Sunday Message, Music and Mantra and occasionally bring in other brilliant Guest Speakers and Musicians on scheduled Sundays.
The Center of Universal Light is a heart-centered, doctrine-free Spiritual Healing Center celebrating life and Mother Earth in an authentic, honest and open spiritual gathering. We use a rich blend of ancient and contemporary wisdom, practices and traditions through music, message, and mantra to create a safe space where people just like you and I can walk our own spiritual paths, and experience the mystical union of oneness.
You can read more about it at the Center of Universal Light.
He will continue his currently scheduled performances "on the road". Feel free to email us with any questions. info@arvelbird.com
