Jackie discussed her commitment to make yoga accessible, both in terms of cost and imagining yoga practices outside the studio.  She spoke about her life-changing experiences teaching and learning yoga around the world, including Guatemala, Costa Rica, and Palestine. We also talked about the role yoga could play in improving the well-being of social justice activists.  

The Ace of Cups, one of the first all-women rock bands emerging in the mid-sixties , were at the center of the San Francisco music scene and the summer of love in 1967. Fifty years later, the group has come together to record a proper studio album of old and new songs. Listen here to Carol's exclusive interview on the Test of Time with Ace of Cups' guitarist & bassist Denise Kaufman. Kaufman talks about the band's past, present, and future. Their upcoming triple album on High Moon Records offers a vast array of songs with the help of many Bay Area musicians and friends. You'll hear Kaufman share clips from the upcoming album and tell the stories behind them. It's been a long time coming, but is well worth the wait.

Justin Mosley was the guest on Artista on Art, 8/16/17 and we talked about The Frogman Experience, his collaborative projects with other musicians and hearing about how his band members have gone through their own metamorphosis to come together and perform as magical creators. Check out their upcoming show:  The Catalyst Club August 24:  http://www.catalystclub.com/…/1540103-frogman-experience-s…/ Also, check out more about the band at http://www.thefrogmanexp.com/bio/
