Heaven Happens on Earth

Heaven makes its presence known to us in the sacred acts, the sacred moments we engage in. When we finally surrender to love, kindness, consideration, joy, and celebration for each other...

The Power of Music, Song, and Dance

Music, song, and dance has the ability to connect us in unison, and in spirit, as we move and sing in sync, and as we're all moved within by a force that helps us touch the sacred.
