If you would like to appear as a guest musician, please reach out to Music Director, Heather O'Day via our contact form.
Music is an essential part of the experience at Sonoran Desert Center for Spiritual Living.
Each Sunday, our Music Ministry helps set the tone for inspiration, reflection, celebration, and community connection.
We begin with uplifting music at 10:15 AM before Sunday Celebration Service, continue weaving music into the service experience, and often share music during fellowship as our community gathers after service.
Our music is chosen to support the message of the day, lift the spirit, and create a welcoming space where everyone can feel connected.

Our current Music Ministry is led by Lost In Eden Duo, bringing heartfelt vocals, live musicianship, thoughtful song selections, and a warm community-centered presence to Sunday mornings and special Center events.
Lost In Eden Duo helps create the musical atmosphere for Sunday Celebration Services, fellowship gatherings, Center-wide events, and community outreach experiences.

There is a great African proverb that guides Heather’s simple philosophy about being a musician: “If you can walk, you can dance; if you can talk, you can sing.” Heather encourages people from all walks of life to express themselves through music, rhythm, movement, poetry, and magic. She was raised in a Catholic choir loft but has found her true spiritual home with the teachings of Ernest Holmes and Science of Mind. Since joining the family at SDCSL, Heather has written and self-produced 3 studio albums of original New Thought music and spiritual chants.
She is also the webmaster of cslaz.org, edits and publishes our YouTube videos, and manages social media for our Center.
Heather O’Day has 30 years of experience and training, and holds a B.M. in Opera Performance from the University of Arizona.

Drummer and sound engineer Stephen Anthony has over 40 years’ experience playing in traditional faith churches, but he has found a new way of thinking and a new way of life in New Thought. He is the founder of SonLight Studio in northern CA, and relocated to Tucson, AZ in 2002, and reopened to the public as Sharp As A Track Studio in 2022. He has performed, recorded and produced a wide variety of music styles throughout the state of AZ in various bands, most recently, Lost in Eden (Covers of 60s-today), Seize The Shadow (modern rock/postcore) with his partner, Heather O'Day. His drum rudiments program, “Practice to Groove,” was endorsed by Ed Shaughnessy, drummer of The Tonight Show Band (Johnny Carson). He is a proud veteran of the US Air Force. SDCSL Music Team is delighted to have Stephen not only as a lyrical, expressive drummer but also as a helping hand with live and recorded sound at the Sanctuary.
