Why are Retreats Beneficial for Musicians?
Why are Retreats Beneficial for Musicians?
"Musicians get nervous; I get extremely nervous. And I didn't want to take anxiety medicines...
I want to find ways that will be more helpful that I can incorporate into my routine."
Music and Wellness: A Powerful Connection
Music and Wellness: A Powerful Connection
"In Tai Chi, Yoga, and meditation, everything was intrinsically connected to the idea of playing good music...
It's really a stellar opportunity to have experts in both music and wellness here simultaneously showing us how to bring these together."
A Holistic Approach to Personal and Professional Well-being
"On the longer (meditation) retreats I've done, you are sitting there and of course you think oh wow, I can't wait to play my cello with this sense of presence!
But you get to do it here at One Heart; and it's very experiential in that sense."
Music as a Spiritual Practice - A Profound Experience
Music as a Spiritual Practice - A Profound Experience
"I actually found music as Dharma practice to be very rich...
I just found it to explore practice of the instrument as a meditative experience."
