Talking to Strangers (About Music)

Connections to other humans are crucial. But what does that look like? How can we trust others? This second segment of Talking to Strangers focuses on Steph Thompson, founder of sound healing practice Sacred Bloom Tribe talking to strangers about music. Sound and rhythm are crucial aspects to building up our listening skills. Trusting one another--whomever we might be, whatever race, creed, religion, political persuasion--we have to learn to listen to one another and find a common vibration. We need to get in tune, and in this podcast Steph will chat with the amazing people who create and work with sound and music, those people who make creating harmony their mission! We have a lot to learn from one another, and it all starts with DEEP LISTENING!
