Hi all – I have only been traveling since Wednesday and it feels like lifetimes – it has been so expansive and rich. I wanted to share a couple photos/videos and share some reflections.

House concert in Amherst – SO MUCH FUN! What a perfect way to kick off the 12 Rebirth tour. I sang through the whole record in a beautiful backyard to an audience that was listening deeply and receiving fully. true bliss! Thank you Sarah and Scott for hosting! Watch some LIVE footage on FB.

Lake Champlain in Vermont – I visited with a colleague and his husband and had a wonderful time, soaking in the nature and sharing stories that ranged from Wayne Dyer to Parker Palmer to Claire Zammit. This was no basic chit chat. We were going deep and eating yummy salmon as we did. As they say, Life is Good.

Quebec with my friend Maryse and community was extraordinary. I fell in love with the energy of Sherbrooke and the people who blessed me with their chanting. Maryse translating into French for me, which was a new and wonderful experience for me inviting me to speak less and sing more. Those of you who know me or have seen me live, realize this may have been challenging. ; )

The amazing thing is that the music translates powerfully no matter the language,. It is Vibration – a consciousness and my time in Quebec helped reflect this to me. What a gift. Asato Ma was particularly powerful and will be used to help begin the first ever Gaia’s Love Festival in Cincinnati Ohio on August 3.

Now – On Sunday morning – I am typing from a place called Brittania Beach in Ottawa. It’s a wonderful combination of on the Ottawa River beach cottage community with city vibe and international people. I walked down last night to the park saw some kiteboarding, had a beer and veggie burger at the local Baja burger place and smoked in the international culture. What a gift.

Today I journey further west into Ottawa and will explore the Algonquin Park. All along my time in Canada I feel deeply connected to nature and am beyond grateful. Thanks for listening and tuning in. Song of the day, as I honor the land of the Algonquin, I am the Ocean.
