*** Milli: I will disperse more of these throughout the site as a finishing touch but also think it’s nice to have them all in one place. I will go through and clean up the formatting and extraneous text after other higher priority pages are done.

 “The music in paradise workshop has deepened my understanding of music. Of how to find and hold a beat, how to improvise and how to listen to the sound of the group and add what you think the music needs.  Milli has a unique way of bringing out the best in each person she works with. She knows how to make you feel comfortable, seen and heard, while at the same time pushing the boundaries of your comfort zone. She gently encourages you to break out of your shell, to come in contact with your true self, your true voice, and your true rhythm. The work we did together in the music workshop helped me access parts of myself that I have been holding back. Parts of my true nature that I have been suppressing.  Milli intuitively knows when to push you further, when to give support, and when to give and hold space. From the bottom of my heart, I thank you.”

“The music workshop with Milli has forever changed my life. Before I was very shy and nervous to sing and play guitar. I would often cry when I sang.  Now, after just 5 days here in paradise, I am singing without crying and wrote my first song! I am forever grateful for Milli’s musical mastery, deep listening and brilliant orchestration of support for each student’s voice to shine. She guided us to step out of our comfort zones and find joy in the unknown. Thank you, Milli, for all the love, fun and play!” – Sonya

“Here in this most beautiful valley I have been welcomed like nowhere else and found a place I can truly call paradise on earth. I have in the “Music in Paradise” retreat been seen and heard like never before by amazing Milli, and gentled been pushed out of my comfort zone and grown immensely as a musician and composer. I will be back and I cannot wait!”

“Milli Moonstone is an incredible healer, using the power of music, an open heart and gentle spirit to lovingly coax even the most timid souls to blossom into their full expression. The way she intuitively feels out the energy in the circles she holds is such a blessing – allowing for everyone to feel very comfortable, seen, appreciated and welcome. Most of us need a lot of encouragement to feel brave enough to truly share ourselves with others – but with Milli, all fears and inhibitions fall away, and everyone suddenly is dancing, stomping their feet and singing with wild abandon and great joy! What an experience! These music circles offer deep healing, sweet connection to the ancient ways, a reverence and honoring of the sacred, and an enormous amount of fun!”

– Angeliska

“The music evening with Milli was such a safe, nurturing, compassionate space where I could feel vulnerable, myself, and sing and dance. It was so freeing, so magical, so powerful, so uplifting. I loved every second of it and I left feeling full and euphoric... full of hope, love, compassion, self worth and knowing I am safe again.”

– Phoenix

“Milli's music workshop was so fun and informative! She helped me understand how to tune into the energy of the music. We learned how to feel into the sounds and rhythm and let the energy guide the duration, intensity, and speed of a song. As intuitive as it is, we also learned so many classical musical techniques. How to breathe while singing, diaphragm exercises, how to harmonize with others, and how to shape our mouth to make tonal sounds in the most fascinating ways. If you play an instrument, you get plenty of chances to practice and play along with others! I recently picked up the violin and through Milli's gentle guidance, I've learned how to trust the instrument and trust myself to allow the music to flow through me. Overcoming the fear and stage fright is one of the biggest blocks to creating good sound and she teaches you how to relax, let go, and lean into the music. I feel very honored and grateful to have her as a teacher and I highly recommend the course to anyone who loves music!”

“Thank you Milli, you helped me embrace my gifts and creativity, and somehow unexpectedly turned them into music. Your workshop is a paramount milestone on my path of self-acceptance and self-expression. Thank you for caring so much and for not letting me get in my way. And thank you for all the magic”

– Eros Biasolo

“You balanced theory and playful exercises, you rekindled my love of the voice, you reminded me of who I am. The workshop led me to begin to understand the unfolding magic and healing that music gives to my life. I came broken and am leaving full. Gracias! Thank you for the intimate container you created and held. For your gentleness and playfulness and sweet yet very clear spirit.”

– Holly Wilmeth

“It has been such a deeply nourishing time on the land.  The music workshop opened me, grounded me and supported me on my path.  It was a lovely mix of technical and intuitive. I’m leaving inspired and ready to keep playing music, and now with even more possibilities! Thank you!”

– Nancy Lucina

“The best, most challenging but most joyful workshop/retreat I’ve done!  Making music together, singing and dancing, improvisation, sharing, listening & learning & playing! Still really grateful.”

– Jalinka Gressman

I learned to catch inspiration when it came to me and let my stream of consciousness take over in order to sing from my heart, rather than from my head. Milli taught us some music theory, how to harmonise, and how to create different rhythms. It was so special to play with a group of people who were so supportive of each other. We held space for each other as we let our guards down in order to take a chance and sing or dance or play a beat. Milli is truly a great teacher and is gifted at creating space for us to feel comfortable doing this. Best of all, I rejoiced in the high vibrations emanating from everyone involved in this work. I loved this workshop and hope to take it again!     Anna Stewart
