CreativeMornings - 🎼 We can create music together

January 19, 2022

“If you’re a note, and I’m a note, we can create music together.”

Sink into Andrea Joy Pearson’s gorgeous soundbath. Pearson is the Director of Belonging and Inclusion and the Creative Director of Amplifying the Black Experience at Opera Omaha. In between the dulcet tones of the singing bowls she plays, she talks about how we get to choose the vibrations we put out in the world, and which vibrations we take in. By taking ownership of what we want to embody, we can orchestrate the joyous, meaningful symphony we want to inhabit. Watch Andrea Joy Pearson’s performance for CreativeMornings/Omaha and consider the kind of music you want to create with your life.
