LM 17-08 Under the Piano with Craig Addy

for the LOVE of Music, with Nathen Aswell and his guest Craig Addy, on air from February 21st 

craig-addy

Craig is a member of the Amicus Music Duo, the Quiet hearts Ensemble and the founder and creative director of Under the Piano.

Canadian pianist and composer Craig Addy’s training in music was very traditional. From an early age, he studied classical piano, music theory and history. By his mid-twenties, he had two music degrees: One from the University of British Columbia and one from the Royal Conservatory of Music in Toronto. However, during all of those years of disciplined studies, Craig was secretly exploring another world of music……the world of improvisation. Craig’s style of improvisation is a unique blend of classical, new age, and popular. His improvisations are created in the moment with no predetermined harmonies, rhythms or melodies.

Under thePiano

Today, Craig has developed his improvising into a unique experience called Under the Piano. Clients lie underneath Craig’s grand piano. Under the Piano is a Sound Spa for Body, Mind and Soul. For 45 minutes the vibrations of the improvised music envelope and massage the individual or couple under the piano. The experience is most frequently described as calming, relaxing, magical and meditative.

Amicus Music Duo

Vancouver’s Amicus Music Duo features Craig Addy on the piano and Howard Meadows on the clarinet. Their repertoire includes music from the Baroque, Classical, Romantic and 20th Century eras in addition to a growing list of original compositions, and improvisations. The Amicus Music Duo adapts and arranges much of their music.  Craig and Howard met while studying music at UBC and sang together in the award-winning University Singers. A shared love for vocal and choral music strongly influences their approach to performing and their repertoire selections.

Quiet Hearts Ensemble

Founded in June 2013, Quiet Hearts Ensemble has been providing one of Vancouver’s most exquisite and unique experiences with their Music Oasis series at St. Andrew’s-Wesley United Church. Music Oasis is an intimate and relaxing musical occasion that is like a holiday away from everyday pressures. The Quiet Hearts Ensemble improvises, or rather spontaneously composes, beautiful music in one of Vancouver’s most stunning cathedral acoustics. Listeners are transported, moved and inspired by enchanting flavours of music embracing classical, new age, jazz, folk and world styles. It’s romantic. It’s meditative. It’s soothing. Listeners rave that they “can’t believe” these musical journeys are composed on the spot.

TSM 17-008 Supreme Love in Self with Jeanine Staples

Their Story Matters with Sara Troy and her guest Jeanine Staples, on air from February 21st

Harvard Educated Professor and Coach Unleashes a Powerful Exploration of Black Women’s Terror In Love And Revolutions In Life

Terror and love don’t typically go together in the same sentence but for more and more women the pairing has become a harsh reality. This is especially true in a post 9/11 world colliding with the Trump Era. In our day and age acts of emotional, psychological, and physical violence play out publicly (in the mainstream media), and privately (in intimate partnerships). In light of this, Jeanine Staples asks: How does terror in love impact the way women show up in relationships and how women operate in the world? Can we feel safe, healed, and whole in an age where relational and social terrors against Black women’s bodies and souls are common culture?

In Jeanine Staples’ debut book, The Revelations of Asher: Toward Supreme Love in Self, these questions are explored. Her extensive research reveals women’s fragmented selves and the five ways women live as lovers: Main Chick, Side Chick, Bonnie, Bitch, and Victim. Her two-part, online quiz can easily help women uncover which lover identity they take on in relationships. Her subsequent work ( The supreme love project ) shows women a more conscious way of loving and living in the world.

This isn’t a lovey-dovey take on relationships or “self-help”. It is a raw look at how women heal from deep traumas using the tools of emotional literacy and emotional justice. Jeanine is on a mission to teach women how to turn toward supreme love in self, a concept that goes beyond the limits of self-love.

As an alternative-response to the five toxic lover identities, Jeanine presents a new way of loving and living. She introduces the Supreme Lover Identity and illuminates its integral connection to social and emotional justice for and through Black women’s wisdom.

Although Jeanine champions women of color, her work is far-reaching. She currently has thousands of women, from 11 different countries, in her online community (www.thesupremeloveproject.com). Each member is embracing supreme love in self…learning to love supremely so she can live supremely. The Supreme Love Project was born out of this international response from women all over the world craving the tools to take ownership of their lover identities, and consciously seeking greater emotional justice for their lives and communities. Jeanine’s book presents rich examples of this real-life process. The Revelations of Asher is narrated by one of the fragmented selves: Asher. Asher is the questioning protagonist. She inquires and asks the tough questions women feel plagued with – Who am I? How did I get here? Why is this happening? What’s going to happen? What’s wrong with me? Other fragmented selves in the book include: Rajah (the voice of divine wisdom and peace), Maven (the voice of maternal critique), Nason (the voice of approval-addiction), Kagan (the voice of sex, sexuality, and materiality), Laish (the voice of self-doubt and timidity), and Sash (the voice of rage).

My Island of Truth and Purpose by Sara Troy

my-island-of-truth-and-purpose

I have finally found the island, the place where we seek out our spirit, our purpose our truth. What I did not realize in my journey to fit in, to seek and to find, is that I have been on this island all the time. It is my home, my place of being, my sanctuary and my peace. It is where I find my harmony and where above all else I can and do speak my truth.
I was born here in this place of tranquility. I flew here with the gentle winds and bathed in the soft embracing waters or her shorelines. I baked in her sun and walked in her mysteries and discovered her wonderment. She is home to me, my bed to lay my spirit, my blanket to protect me, my sun to warm me and my fruits to feed me.
I am never alone here, for there are others here that know the same purpose and peace. We are here living in the universal paradise readying ourselves for those to come. Who are we that live here and dance with the island? We are the elders, the ones that will greet you at the entrance of the island. You do not have to come in knowledge, but you do have to come in truth and a willingness to learn. You can only gain entrance if you are true in heart, free in spirit and open to wonderment and with intent to teach others in turn.
Unlike the popular TV show The Island, we are not here to keep evil in, but to be the center core of enlightenment and inspiration so that its pupils can come and learn and then go and teach others. It is a place of entry, a filtration of inner truth and true calling. A place where you can find your truth and a place of finding your knowingness.
What is knowingness? It is a place of such undoubted absolute truth that there is nothing that can or will contaminate what you know. When you reach is an understanding of information that does not have to be validated, it simply just is. It is a wonderful place to be unless you are with people who cannot see it or don’t want to. But living in this absolute shows such conviction that people cannot argue with your belief factor.
I flew as a child, flew high as a young woman, in my flight I reached out and found my knowledge. I have never learned the conventional way, I am a Now learner. Some things that I have read direct me and give me an understanding of what I am living. But for the most part, my knowingness comes from just feeling my truth or what it is I need to know in that time and space.
Space the final frontier, it is the beginning, it is the end, it is everything in-between, and it is just everything. When I am in flight I connect to the molecules of the universe and gain my knowledge. I am one and individual within the one of everything. My existence is present at all times somewhere, in something, doing something even in my nothingness. We live in a conscious of non-consciences. I live in my presence and can only speak to my knowledge in the now. When cross-examined on it I falter, for the now is all I am.
I have had a hard time living in my body, my consciousness is my home, this body, and its needs draw me away from my being and I end up confused and misplaced. I have had to learn and be at peace and in balance with my soul spirit and body, something that requires a consistent earthly consciousness’.
On the island I am whole, I am one. Melded with my humanity I now realize that I am not just an elder in spirit but now in mind and body. It is time for me now to take my teachings up to another level and embrace the elder in me.
I love youth, the spirit dancing in possibilities, the embrace, and hunger for knowledge and the acceptance of inner truth without fear. It is wonderful to see them soar, to see their flight. But as an elder, it is not for me to journey with them but to guide them, give the grounding from which they springboard from and an open understanding of the passengers the pick up along the way.
I love being the elder, now matched with human age, I can just be the wisdom, the balance and the guidance they need to make their own journey. They are the future, so we must guide them well, for as is was in the begging it will be in the end, our existence will be in their hands of the young that grow older and wiser.
So come to the island to learn and breathe in its knowledge, embrace its wisdom and take it with you through your journey in your own purposeful life. Some come to look but are not ready to participate in it yet. Their time will come, this lifetime a hundred lifetimes from now, it will come. You can only help the ready only guide those that ask for passage; only liberate those who want it. As in everything in life, it is not for us to walk their walk, but to show the options of the road ahead of them and ready them for the journey.
If we have done it right then they will find their spirit that guides them and is that inspiration for others to follow. One can only show them the water, not drink it for them, it must be their free will, their choice to make the journey.
The most powerful thing in the universe is the feeling of knowingness, for in that truth there is a sense of peace and love. Life is a feeling guided by knowledge sight touch. When our senses are as one we are in that place of truth and the universal center.
Take your head out of it, listen with your eyes, feel with your heart, and speak from the soul. Your head is the CPU the computer to store your knowledge, the truth of your knowledge comes from your soul which is your universal connection. Be open, be honest, be trusting, be still, tap in and feel it, be it and live in it. You know what you need to know in that space of time, all other information serves no purpose till it is needed. Download it and store it somewhere and listen to the universe speak to you, ask and you will receive if you are truly open to hear, feel and see it.
So my young spirits, I am here waiting for you excited to feel your being and guide you on your way to greatness. Spirits set free to fulfill their purpose in the greatness of the song and dance we call universal harmony.
