Dear Ones,
Here in Colorado, we’re starting to winterize. The days are growing shorter and the nights are longer. The air is cooler.
In some cultures this end of October/beginning of November is referred to as a time when the veil between the worlds is thin, meaning that we might have more access to the unseen. Is there any specific aspect of your life that you would like to connect with something larger than yourself?
We’re happy to release the “Young Creatives in Harmony” album directed and recorded by David and Arlyn Alderdice including over 100 students plus a few community members. Listen here.
blessings,
Arlyn & David
