  • #4 with David Slattery: Music from Ireland
    Nov 22 2024

    In this episode, we are excited to have David Slattery, a talented singer-songwriter from Clarecastle, Ireland as our guest. David is a full-time musician who draws inspiration from his life experiences and expresses himself through various music genres. He has gained popularity in the US for the videos of him singing & playing at Irish music sessions, where he pays tribute to Eoin O'Neil by singing covers of his songs. It’s clear just how much their dedication to music and culture resonates on both sides of the Atlantic. Eoin’s influence in keeping Irish traditional music alive is truly profound, not just for his local audience but also for listeners worldwide. David’s heartfelt cover of Eoin’s songs truly honors that legacy, bringing a unique touch while paying deep respect to the original. We talk with David about his approach to sharing his heart through music, what inspires him as a songwriter, and just what is a "Trad Session"? His forthcoming recording sounds like an amazing collaboration with singers and musicians from County Clare in Ireland! We're sure many people will connect deeply with his music. All this and there may even be a 'sneak peek' of David's studio recording of the Eoin O'Neil classic "Walking to the Mountain".

  • #3 with Gandharva Sauls: Your Life Blueprint
    Nov 15 2024

    In this episode, we welcome Gandharva Sauls, Your Life Blueprint Master Counselor. Gandarva offers personal consultations to discover your original life potentials. "In January 2000, after many years of study in Ayurveda, Yoga and other holistic sciences, I received the sacred knowledge to be able to accurately know and share with you your life blueprint. Your Life Blueprint is a holistic system of knowledge that can accurately determine who you are meant to be in this lifetime. This knowledge allows you to understand and accept with yourself at the deepest level".

    Gandharva talks about how watching The Beatles on Ed Sullivan started him on the path of music & meditation. He walks us through how he developed the Your Life Blueprint modality after years of training in the Healing Arts. We discuss how a consultation can help one dig deeper into the Self, and discover their greatest potentials in the Eight Areas of Life. Interested in a new career? Maybe you're a recent college grad heading out into life? Or perhaps a new parent wondering 'where's the owner's manual?' Then tune in, this just might be your episode! As Gandharva succinctly puts it "to help people discover who they are".

    We hope you enjoy this engaging conversation! Thank you for your support. Joy & Dan
