This session will include opening remarks from Mind & Life President, Susan Bauer-Wu and conference Co-Chairs, Linda Carlson and John Dunne.
Grant Jones will feature music as a medium to heal. His offering will draw from soul, alternative, and contemplative music traditions and seek to invite folks into feeling deeply. An ultimate aim for Grant is to have his music provide folks with a home for their most unlovable parts, and he hopes that those who listen feel held and cared for by his sound. His music is most often performed acoustically with guitar and vocals.”
