Meditation: Songs of Grief
Welcome to the first meditation of our Grief, Collected series, which come out every Friday. Today we have a series of 4 songs on grief from Daniela Gesundheit and Snowblink. A lot of Daniela’s music engages with grief, as she weaves together stories from her personal experience and her Jewish traditions. These meditative episodes are an invitation to get out of our heads and into our bodies.
This is music by Daniela Gesundheit and Snowblink.
