“Meg Ruby’s workshop “The Heart of Sound” takes us on a magic carpet ride to the healing places inside our hearts and bodies. Meg integrates her vast knowledge of sound, yoga and eastern spiritual practices, with her very organized, gentle and playful manner to pique our curiosity, tap our creative expression and inspire us to dive into the sound-bath of our souls. I highly recommend this workshop.”
