I call my email list a "cult" because it's my inner circle. Don't worry...we're not that kind of cult (yet).

If you join, I'll send you helpful thoughts about meditation, music, practicing, and being human, on a regular basis. It will challenge your thinking. It will make you uncomfortable. But, you'll benefit from it. Even if you hate it.
