“Twigs of the Tree of Life” by Solenne and Zarrin

In this Baha’i Blog Studio Session, we’re in Stratford, Canada with Solenne Naylor-Thimm and Zarrin Naylor-Thimm who sing “Twigs of the Tree of Life“ based on a passage from the Writings of Abdu’l-Baha.

Baha’i Blog Studio Sessions is an initiative where we invite Baha’is and their friends from around the world to come into a studio and share the Baha’i Writings put to music.

This song was filmed and recorded in Stratford, Canada in April 2026.

This song was composed by Solenne Naylor-Thimm and Zarrin Naylor-Thimm.
