embrace healing

Joe Biden and Kamala Harris are not saviours. They are not superheroes. They are not the great hope of America - its people are. But we have at least gained a foothold instead of falling off the cliff - time to take a breath, be grateful, and reach out for the strength to rebuild.

America, I’m honored that you have chosen me to lead our great country. The work ahead of us will be hard, but I promise you this: I will be a President for all Americans — whether you voted for me or not. I will keep the faith that you have placed in me.

In Catholic school art class I would always be scolded for drawing. Our teachers assigned projects that were more suited for factories or souvenir shops than art galleries: a lamp, a figure made of seashells, a crochet scrapbook, a bound journal that we were not allowed to draw in. Everything had to be constructed the same way; everything had to look uniform.

In New York Open Center the Integrative Sound and Music certificate program starts its annual course in October. 

A comprehensive multi-cultural, multi-disciplinary and highly experiential approach to the study of sound, music and voice and their powerful effect on the mind, body and spirit. 

Now on its twelfth year, the program is headed by Silvia Nakkach who has been coordinating the program since 2014 as its lead facilitator.
