In this week's podcast, I had the pleasure of interviewing Jen Laursen, a teaching artist and leatherworker based in the Bay Area of California. Jen makes leather accessories by hand, inspired by leatherwork from Mexico and fashion and artwork from the American art deco and 1970's periods. She taught herself (and is still learning!) via old manuals, YouTube videos, and her own trial and error process.   She teaches private lessons and group workshops at Workshop SF in San Francisco and at Handcraft Studio School in El Cerrito as well as in her home studio.  I first encountered Jen's work at a local store in our town. I went on to follow her Instagram account and fell in love with her work and her spirit! Enjoy the interview. You can get in touch with Jen using the links below Website: https://www.tiltleather.com/ Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/tiltleather/

So people ask me all the time. What are you doing? What is Chantmagick about? I say it's about feeling joy, it's about me modeling so for other people, people listening to the music. It's about peace. it's about kindness and connection, especially in nature. It's a series of musical statements about hope and the feeling that can reconnect to ourselves with nature and to each other.

Just Some Thoughts - Gathering

In this week's podcast, I talk a little bit about a favorite quote which is "Your purpose is what you say it is. Your mission is the one you give yourself." My purpose is to access and bring music from all of my sources out to the public. My job is to find images, movements and sounds that help people reconnect with all knowing, loving source. My task is to stop, evaluate and make subtle shifts so that I don’t dilute my energy and waste the time that I have. What is your purpose? 

Just Some Thoughts - Your Purpose is What You Say It Is

This weeks talk was inspired by a quote I saw that referred to "whole hearted people living from a deep sense of worthiness."  For some reason, these words move me deeply!
