The best remedy for those who are afraid, lonely or unhappy
is to go outside, somewhere where they can be quiet,
alone with the heavens, nature and The Divine.
Because only then does one feel that all is
as it should be.       - Anne Frank

All of us, at times, feel it useful to clear the decks…to reassess where our energy is being spent, and if it serves us in a way that brings us closer to the life we want to lead.  These past several months have provided me with the opportunity to do just that…to take a good look around, and redirect my focus for more heart-connected endeavors and more efficient action.

After 10 years of utilizing Stanislav and Christina Grof’s Holotropic Breathwork™ as a modality for self-exploration, I am about to set out for New Mexico, where I will attend my 2-week Facilitator Certification Intensive.  I look forward to completing this training, and, in turn, being able to offer this to those in my community interested in continuing their own inner adventures.  I will be sending out an event invitation as I begin to offer workshops in the area.  I would love to share this beautiful practice with those of you who feel drawn to doing this deep work.  To learn about Holotropic Breathwork™, check out http://www.holotropic.com/.

Although my path with The Truthseekers has come to a close after 5 years of soul bruthah and sistah musical adventuring, I hope you all will still go out to support this rock-n-soul family.  For info on gigs and CDs, please visit http://www.thetruthseekersmusic.com/.

I will now be refocusing on my love of creating new music for journeying and film scores, and will be sure to send out event posts for live performances and CD releases. Stay tuned!!!

And last but not least…Lynda Carré and I are proud to announce the upcoming site launch of our new togetherness-inspired company, ChickPeace!  Our anticipated launch is set for early July, and we will be sending out an invitation to join our celebration!

May you all sit in awe of the simple beauty which surrounds us,
and find reason for gratitiude.

Be back soon!

Sending Heart,
Kirsten

It has been a few months since I have posted.  I took a bit of a retreat in solitude over the holidays to gather more energy for the upcoming events of this New Cycle.  It is very exciting!  Music, Movement (external and internal!), Education, Creative Projects, and more!

THE TRUTHSEEKERS:
I am thrilled to report the long-awaited release of The Truthseekers’ 2nd CD is close at hand.  We have been working toward putting finishing touches on the project, and the band is sounding more locked in than ever!  Stay tuned for the CD Release Party info.  Also, if you have NOT seen the
“To Get By/Star Wars Remix” video featuring not only a few members of the band, but also Eric’s son, Jaden…you GOTTA CHECK IT OUT!  Jaden is getting airplay on some radio stations. REMEMBER: If you want either The Truthseekers or Jaden & The Beat Droids to get airplay in your town, you can contact your local station, make a request, and provide them with a link to the YouTube videos.  It’s all about community!

KAIROSONIC…Journey On:
This website was developed (and still in development) to offer information about the “journey” music, nature-inspired events for children and adults, and Holotropic Breathwork™ workshops for those interested in inner exploration with this specific modality of healing developed by Stanislav Grof and Christina Grof.  If you would like updates on upcoming events, please feel free to join the mailing list.

I am working toward completion of my certification as a facilitator of Breathwork workshops in June, and also developing a nature-based workshop series for kids.  Music In Nature™ will be offered late spring and throughout the summer months to bring kids closer to the too-often-forgotten wonders of the natural world.   I recently heard Edward O. Wilson, a professor at Harvard state, “The scientists and medical researchers are coming to the realization that it is a big mistake for humanity to separate itself from the rest of the living world.  The vast majority of the species out there are our friends…not our enemies.”

As humans, we are only one small part of this living grid.  With some of our carelessness in past and present actions, we have created an imbalance in the interdependent web of life.  The good news:  If we can be so impactful…we can be impactful for the good of all living beings. And teaching our children, and ourselves, to spend a little less time in front of a computer screen or television, and a little more time outdoors listening and watching the intricacies of the wilderness…we can gift our children with a deeper education than can be gleaned from books or film alone.  If you have not yet seen my music video for “Taka Dum” from the CD, birth of the ONE, check it out!

CHICKPEACE™ & TOGETHERNESS TINS:
Though our website is still in development, Lynda Carré (Santa Monica-based yoga and meditation teacher, graphic designer, and more!) and I are opening the doors on a project in the works for several months now. ChickPeace is a company for consciously cultivating connection, and our very first gift item, the Togetherness tin, inspires a monthly quality “surprise inside” connection between friends and loved ones.  Read about “The Greatest Gift of All…Togetherness”… and if it feels good to you, join our ChickPeace Family of Friends mailing list, and help us spread the word!

LIFELONG EDUCATION:
YES! I am still pursuing a degree in Human Development/EcoPsychology, and because school started again last week, I have much homework to get started on!  I will be sending out a general update soon with more info on upcoming events and news.

I want to thank you for your interest and support, and I wish you all abundance in those areas that most serve your highest good at this time.
With Gratitude for Life!
KK
