EP20: Rivers & Cathedrals

Wyn and Kate chat with Peter Jacobson, a transformative coach, conductor and teacher.  They explore what comes through in creating and performing music from under the noise.  They also chat about flowing with the river of life as opposed to listening to our “clever computers”.  Peter, Wyn and Kate also discuss consciousness, fresh thinking, and the willingness to be in the space of not-knowing.
