Testimonials

I still feel the warm energy. And many of the mindfulness practices I picked up at OneHeart are now coming into practical use for me!

I got things that I will carry away from here. We are all here to become more mindful and apply that to our music practices.

I came here for “myself.” But I did not think about how I will be impacted by everybody else. Thank you. Earlier today in the performance class, the transformation in everybody’s sound was amazing. Somehow, I feel like I made big changes that were not easy.
