Dear Ones,
Thank you all for your continued support of live music, embodiment, the marimba project and living a juicy and full life! We’ve been out in the community a lot in the past few weeks and it’s great to see so much musical inspiration. Thanks for being a part of it.
Spring is just about to tip over into summer and we hope to see you soon.
blessings, Arlyn and David
