May 2017


Dear Friends of Healing Music,


Happy Spring!!!!!!! I hope that you are all well and enjoying the lovely spring shifts - renewal, reawakening, the beauty of nature and boundless joy! Feels like fairies are all around us these days!

I have had such a busy springtime! I think my busiest ever! Played at so many magical events, met so many wonderful people! Life is goodly (fairy word).

MUSIC MEDITATION

One more event this marvellous month of May - a Music Meditation with my friend Andrea Gerhardt. She sings the ancient, beautiful Songs of Hildegard and plays the harp and a few other gorgeous instruments. ! I hope that you can join us on Saturday, May 27, 7:30pm at Esther Myers Yoga Studio, 390 Dupont Street, Suite 203. The cost is $33 and you can pay on paypal (to:  debbiedanbrook@gmail.com). If you prefer to pay at the door please RSVP and let me know you are coming, much thanks.

APRIL & MAY ADVENTURES

In April I travelled to Ottawa for teaching and playing. Here I am having a quiet moment before playing with Mark Daniel at the lovely home of Catherine. Thanks so much Catherine for hosting us! And then a lovely photo of us playing the following week at Esther Myers Yoga Studio in Toronto. I love the fairy lights in this photo!!!




Here is a Magical Tree picture from a workshop I offered to a wonderful Women's Group. The tree is on the banks of the Humber River. It was a magical day! Thanks to all who attended and special thanks to Kathleen for graciously hosting the event!



I had an amazing evening as I always do playing for the Satsang offering of Jac O'Keefe. The rain was pounding down on the tin roof - an incredible soundscape for my shakuhachi meditation! Jac is one of my favourite spiritual speakers, a lovely Irish woman who shares ancient wisdom with us all. Thank you Jac for being you! www.jac-okeefe.com

Then one of the highlights of the year so far - playing at Convocation Hall at the University of Toronto for the conference entitled: 'Finding Common Ground'. Presented by the organization A Mindful Society. www.amindfulsociety.org  I played for 600 attendees on the opening night at Convocation Hall. I also offered a Music Meditation for the group on Sunday morning. Wonderful people, wonderful group energy. Thanks so much to the organizer Michael Apollo for including me at the conference again this year.

Here I am doing my sound check at Convocation Hall. I have a lovely picture of me playing later in the night - I'll include that one in my yearly newsletter!



My next April event was with my dear friend David Price Francis. We offered an Energy Workshop at Trinity St. Pauls United Church. It was an amazing night; always a pleasure working with David. We are continuing to work on our guided meditations and will have more of them released this year!

Then off to Bancroft for some meetings about projects, video and photo shoots and playing at the lovely 'The Place for the Arts'.

I started off the month of May with a delightful evening concert hosted by guitar player extrordinaire, Mark Battenberg. One of the spoken works by Mark was about Iris the Fairy and so I dressed up as Iris! A lovely night with lots and lots of donations for the food bank. Thank you Mark for organizing this beautiful event!
