Hi Folks,
I woke up this morning, still basking in my experience of Song & Spirit yesterday. Jan Cercone , www.musicforjoyandhealing.com has created a beautiful sound healing center, based on the principles of vibrational medicine, in Novato. If you would love to hear the heavenly sounds of her singing and crystal bowls, Tibettan instruments and chimes blended with piano and Shelltone in a space filled with silks, velvets, and crystals galore, then check out Jan's weekly gathering on Thursday evenings in Novato at 7:00 - 9:00 PM. See you there.

Singing with Whales
Hi Folks,
I made my way to Earthly Treasures in Larkspur, www.EarthlyTreasuresGallery.com, a second time, to see and hear Pierre before he leaves for France next week. He had more other-worldly Shelltones to share with a handful of us. What an instrument! It sounds just like whales. The music was magical, and of course I was delighted for an opportunity to play one. My heart burst open, with vibrations like I have never experienced before. Then, I sang improvisationally for the group, telling the story of the first time I heard about Pierre Lavagne.
Read all about Pierre Lavagne's project, and his movie coming in 2010 at www.shelltonewhaleproject.org.
If you would like to hear the instrument played live, please join us at the place where sound and spirit meet in Novato, where Jan Cercone will be hosting a gathering of like-minded souls, on 31 Commercial Blvd. today, July 18 at 1:00 PM. Read more about Jan's work at www.musicforjoyandhealing.com. If you can't make it today, with such short notice, go on-line to You-tube, type in "Shelltone", and listen to music created by other folks who own one of these instruments. In future, I will be playing the instrument myself and posting on my blog.
Aloha,
Elise

Whale Music Visit
Hi Folks,
I made it to Pierre's whale music get together at Earthly Treasures in Larkspur www.EarthlyTreasuresGallery.com on Friday and wanted to share some of the highlights with you. On a movie screen, Pierre showed footage of humpback whales in Hawaii, singing and dancing, while members played and sang their instruments. Pierre played his Shelltone, an instrument he created over a two year period that produces tones similar to whales. Go to www.shelltonewhaleproject.org for more information on this man and his important work with cetaceans. Naturally, interesting people are drawn to a such a magical sharing. I had the opportunity to meet and be in the Presence of Timothy Morgan, who sings out-of-this world, in a way that I had never encountered before. For a glimpse of this man's gift to the world, go to www.attunetosource.com and hear and see what he is all about. If you would like to experience this, come to Earthly Treasures July 17, when Pierre returns from working on a movie about his work that will be shown on TV in 2010. There is hope for the future and we can all make a difference.

VAGADU
Hey Folks,
Great News! Yesterday, I checked out the Nick Cave exhibit again at Yerba Buena Center i in SFO with my friend Joelle, owner of Lola's Depot in Fairfax. (Check out her store on Sir Frances Drake across the street from the movie theater for great deals on thrift store buys. ) While watching Nick's awesome vids, I connected to a woman named Joui Turandot, Artistic Director of her art/fashion business VAGADU. Really COOL clothes, hat's (hint, hint), and as it turns out, no accidents you know, she's got a piece in the Green Dimensions recycle show at Fort Mason Center. Go to www.experiencevagadu.com and check her out!
See you at the Green Dimensions opening on Thursday, July 16.
