Who We Are, And Why We're Doing This
Carrie Wrigley is a musician, counselor, actor,
teacher, songwriter, and mother of 5 kids - the last
of whom left home in July 2022. She's repurposing
her empty nest and newly available time to bring joy
to others, by giving new life to classic songs she has
loved for decades, as the soothing, dynamic voice
of Phoenix Arising.
Ken Mulroney is an ex-cop, trained as an actor in his
youth, who returned to acting after retiring from
law enforcement. He learned to play the drums in the process of losing his beloved first wife to complications from a heart transplant. Music has been a healing
force for him, that he now shares with others
as part of Phoenix Arising.
The Legend of the Phoenix
The phoenix is a strong but graceful mythical bird,
who is known for rising from the ashes, and being reborn
after significant struggle or even death.
This remarkable creature has the ability to heal
from the inside out, and generate its own new life
after rising from the ashes. So for centuries,
the phoenix has been a symbol of hope,
regeneration, and powerful rebirth.
For us as well, the phoenix has been an inspiration,
as we rebuild our lives in new forms after the old forms
have expired, and breathe fresh new life into old classic songs.
