Violin Sound Sanctuary Youtube Channel

 InsightTimer
          A teacher/publisher on the worldwide Insight Timer meditation app, I have uploaded meditation music recordings which have received          50,000+ listens. In addition, I present livestream violin sound meditation sessions from my home studio each month for this online                      community.  I schedule these meditations to coincide with the yearly solstices and equinoxes, honoring the ancient and sacred                           celebrations that have marked these celestial events.
