Music—Art—Nature—Awareness
nature as our healer, our muse and medium
nature is a portal back to self
through engaging in embodied experiences of nature,
we awaken to authentic means of creating,
where the act of making music and art is enlivened;
and the need for rest and pause is honored—
cycles of birth, decay, compost, rebirth are celebrated;
the artist’s evolving relationship to the creation process
is the fertile ground,
on which true expression can flourish

All of nature begins to whisper its secrets to us through its sounds. Sounds that were previously incomprehensible to our soul now become the meaningful language of nature.
