Carly Jo Carson is a mother, artist, healer, and journey designer based in Topanga Canyon. She came to understand the power of song when her own healing journey began, 20 years ago in the Peruvian Amazon, where she felt a profound sense that music opens a secret door in time and reaches into the eternal. She set out to design musical arcs with Paul Butler that could usher the breather into this space. These arcs are infused with prayers that help us clarify what our soul is in service to. As John O'Donahue says, “In essence the soul is the force of remembrance in us. It reminds us that we are children of the eternal and that our time on earth is meant to be a pilgrimage of growth and creativity. This is what music does. It evokes a world where ancient beauty can resonate within us again.”

“As an artist, I strive to create beauty that inspires healing, humor and, most importantly, love. Each project is an evolution which hopefully leads to a deeper understanding of myself and the world. I love to watch the story unfold—each project leading to the next . . . and to the next lesson. The potential to find a deeper beauty and meaning than what is known in the present moment is an infinite well. We are constantly shaping reality, and the world, in a simultaneous act. I do this in the name of love. Changing the world can be done on a moment to moment basis. A word, a thought, a feeling- everything creates and impact. A ripple is actually a transcontinental family of waves.”
