"Matthew is a gifted teacher whose guidance helps his students find their own 'brand' of meditation. Without Matthew's insight, I would never have discovered or explored music-supported meditation. Chanting a mantra while accompanied by Matthew playing his harmonium was an absolutely wonderful, opening experience. I look forward to future experiences!"
—Karen H.

"Power without love is reckless and abusive, and love without power is sentimental and anemic. Power at its best
is love implementing the demands of justice, and justice at its best is power correcting everything that stands
against love."
—Martin Luther King, Jr.
