A Southern California native, she studied voice at Chapman University and sang with the William Hall Chorale at the Dorothy Chandler Pavilion. From early roots in classical music and musical theatre, she expanded her repertoire to standards, pop, and rock. Her one-woman show “Only Connect” spanned many musical genres.

These public meditation ceremonies are provided to bring people together, regardless of faith or philosophy, to receive and radiate spiritual energy and create a positive force of peace and goodwill. The ceremonies are scheduled to coincide with the full moon of each month. People from diverse backgrounds all around the world meet at these designated moments in time in unified prayer and meditation. There is no greater power for positive change than the combined focused intent of united minds. These ceremonies have been observed for over 60 years in their present form but have their roots in customs dating back to the dawn of humanity. There has not been a greater need in recent history for this service. We invite you to join us and bring a friend to be part of creating a more peaceful and joyful world.
