The Threshold Singers are based in Olympia, WA. They bring quiet, joyful singing to those who need spiritual comfort or relaxation during a time of need, including times of transition. The human voice is a gracious instrument for those needing compassion and the Threshold Singers share the sacred gifts of healing voices, blended in song.
Marianne Guerin is a Hospice Chaplain who is developing her skills as a harpist, in service to end-of-life care. She is a student of Music Thanatology and will graduate from the Accorda Institute in July of 2025. She joins a growing field of clinical musicals that offer prescriptively delivered music to address the spiritual, emotional and physical needs
of the terminal ill and dying.
The venue at the Old Olympia Glass Building is accessible from the street on the ground floor with no stairs. There are no accessible toilets on-site, so we do suggest you use other local locations and facilities where possible.
