Music Therapy & Wellness: A Holistic Approach to the Universal Goal (Part 1)

Yesterday, 02/27/2016, was the date of the 4th Annual Student Conference for Integrative Medicine at UCLA's Ronald Reagan Medical Center. Here is a video of the first eighteen minutes and twenty-one seconds of my talk. I hope you enjoy it. Thanks to everyone who came out and to all who worked together to make this such a wonderful event.

UCLA Health Reflections and Bobby McFerrin

I had such a fun day at UCLA today presenting and participating in workshops and talks given by other presenters. Watching some of the footage I was able to record I can see that I left out some of the things I had meant to say and I could have stretched some of my musical experiences out more, but overall I am very pleased with how everything turned out. I also got to interact with other speakers and students and even took in a lovely Iyengar Yoga session with Garth McLean, who I am very pleased to have met and spoken with. During my interactive lecture, I ended up trying something I first saw in a lovely video with Bobby McFerrin speaking on a panel at the World Science Festival. I didn't have the guts to take it quite as far as he does, but the crowd was singing well so I tried just a little bit...This video is something that I keep coming back to and speaking about with coworkers, friends, and family. I wanted to share it here in case anyone from today's talk or anyone in general might wish to see it and possibly enjoy it as much as I have. Take a look, I promise it's worth the three minutes of your time. I hope you enjoy and have a wonderful day. If you are from the conference and stopped by thank you very much and thank you to all who helped make it such a wonderful event.
