Below The Surface
There are a lot of new things percolating and bubbling behind the scenes over here. I wanted to make sure to let you in even while I can’t fully open the door yet. However, you may notice some fun changes over the coming months. Every month you will receive a message from me that shares news to inspire you and give you deeper insight into my artistic process so that you feel that much more excited about your own creative journey and are able to go out into your community refilled.
I truly feel the arts make our world a better place. Just like nature, they help us to become better listeners, they help us to have greater empathy and less defensiveness, they make us curious about lived experiences we might not have previously been interested in, and they make us care about art and the people who make it. It’s also my personal belief that when we engage in art and music, we are connecting with the creative Spirit of life. Lastly, I hope that art continues to help us galvanize as communities for the good of all people, especially those most vulnerable and underrepresented.
So in the coming months here is a little more of what you might find in this newsletter:
Art Tips - art recommendations and art reflections so that you have creative inspiration and clarity to balance and digest the overwhelm of the world
Tips For Posture - suggestions for simple Alexander Technique/Mindful Movement practices so that you can gently alleviate aches and pains as well as find better alignment and inner stillness to support your singing, playing and creating from an authentic place
