Music really does have a way of seeping into our cells - it can let us know we aren’t alone and provide us with the wisdom needed to support us through struggle. Music is absolute medicine - it soothes our hearts and wandering minds and can exercise our limbs as we dance. Many of us may have the time right now to just be. From where ever you may be hunkered down, join guest host Noelle Coughlin and see where the music takes you... and remember... we will gather again.
