Walk the Talk Show: “debut” of Belgian sensation: Milow!
by Walk The Talk Show on Mar 1, 2012
Okay, maybe not the first time Milow performed in North America… …But definitely our favorite! Milow wowed the crowd at downtown Boulder, Colorado hotspot Shine last Thursday night (and Waylon didn’t f*ck up the introduction too badly, either). Here’s Milow performing “You Don’t Know.” Followed by crowd favorite, “Little in the Middle.” Follow Milow [...]

Go in Peace Davy Jones. I’m a Believer.
by Sharon Pingitore on Feb 29, 2012
Davy Jones died this afternoon of an apparent heart attack.

by Tadasana on Feb 29, 2012
Over the past decade, the intersection of yoga and music has evolved tremendously in America. When I began practicing in 1998, my teachers abhorred the idea of using music in the classroom. I understood the value of contemplative silence—tuning into the subtleties of breathing, using Soho car horns as a meditation tool—but sometimes I just [...]

We participate in the journey, yes. We can even say, “I want to go over here or there.” We can envision, manifest and create our life but there is another part of the journey where life takes us unexpectedly and often out of our control.
