Even the smallest fish in the ocean takes water into its gill and changes this water into air for it to live. While there is some science as to how this actually works, the transformation of the water into air remains a mystery. We are invited to learn the secret of the gill, the secret of transforming what we go through into air. Karla and Richard share thoughts and stories of how music and connection through their lives has infused air into the most dire of situations and the most precious times in their lives. What will you discover about your gill?

A special shout out to Mark Nepo and his magical book: The Book of Awakening

How do you connect with each others spirit/essence/being? Karla and Richard explore ways of connection. We can connect in life-giving ways during the best and the most challenging of times. We can notice the energy and embrace it. The Obies struggle like everyone else. We lean into the energy and bring it into the light. What grows in the dark can not survive in the light.

"Karla and Richard respond to an inquiry from a recent retreat they held in CA. One partner is willing to share, while the other is hesitant. The question is: why, and what can I do about it? The Obies explore some of the blockers and consider what type of invitations may be helpful. It takes two, baby!"
