69: Personal Alchemy and Music Making with Trevor Montgomery
After the new moon that happened yesterday, we are moving into a powerful, shifting, promoting, growing energy of moving things for the next nine days. This is perfect timing for today’s show as we talk about moving through difficult moments and keeping yourself steady. Join us now for an inspiring discussion and great music from today’s guest!Trevor Montgomery is a musician and friend whom I met over 20 years ago. Several years later, we bonded through similar life events and went through a phase of waking up to spirituality through yoga, meditation, and chanting when we lived together in an art house in San Francisco. Today, Trevor is the musician behind Young Moon, and he makes the South Island of New Zealand his current home base.
