Dear Ones,

Here in Colorado the seasonal birds are shifting, have you seen or heard them where you are?

Our seasonal chores have shifted as well, and the sun is not yet up in the morning when it’s time to wake up for school.

This shift is happening whether or not we approve – but we can ask ourselves what shifts do we want to consciously make at this time in the cycle?

blessings,
Arlyn

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
