Chapel of sacred mirrors (COSM.org), event with Alex and AlLYson Grey

“Tonight’s event was a spiritual ceremony first and a concert second. Not because the music wasn’t the most transcendent but because the function felt like it was to connect with our souls and to elevate us and to heal us rather than simply to deliver music for enjoyment or entertainment.

It was the sound of the soul to align the souls to the greater spirit and it was effective and it was really powerful and it was spontaneous. It was loving. It brought us to the peace that does surpass understanding.”
