My guest on the program is Sherry Finzer — a flutist from Phoenix, Arizona in the United States and the driving force behind Heart Dance Records and Higher Level Media. Our conversation was simply sublime — we talked about creating space for the listener, her work with the Insight Timer meditation app, her new album The Gratitude Project, and much more.
Sherry was also our feature artist on The STOLACE RELAY STATION, episode 3.47. Find the episode on YouTube and at https://stolace.com/relay-station/episodes/03/47/
