This coming Sunday join us for a Serenity Sound “bath” experience at the Gala Pride and Diversity Center in SLO / @thegalacenter /
I’m still buzzing in gratitude for the sound journey held this past Saturday at @rancho.burro.donkey.sanctuary (photo) and the one held yesterday in Los Osos with the focus on “Grief, Gratitude, and Graciousness” - both very special.
so I am very excited to bring a restorative sound immersion experience this coming Sunday to the gala center to release daily pressures, foster emotional healing, and connect to inner peace. We’re already half full, so be sure to register if you’re interested - link in bio.

Another year in the books for our Dancing Queen Sparkling Rosé!🥂 A huge thanks to everyone who’s purchased a bottle and supported @thegalacenter along the way.✨

We tasted our 2025 vintage that is in barrel and it’s already tasting delicious! It’ll age for about 9 months before the final blending in the spring. Stay tuned for updates!
