HAPPY NEW YEAR!

December 23, 2021

Dear Students and Friends,

As I have navigated the waves again this year, many of you have been a constant grounding force and showed up week after week to learn, grow, and explore the Music of Life. I honour you all; thank you for being my teachers, as it allows me to show up as the most aligned and expanded version of myself. You call me to be honest, wise and present to life no matter what is happening in my world, and for this, I love you all!
