A note from Velda. 

I feel that I am truly an incredibly blessed person to have been born at a time where it is possible for me to uncover more of who I truly am and manifest it as I feel it coming through me. 

I am birthing myself again and again. Then putting parts to rest, peeling the fine layers away, letting go again and again. I continue to find more stillness, strength and clarity as I walk my souls' path with purpose. 

I am blessed with courage and the consciousness to face myself.

If I am fortunate, I am left with something to share be it words, art, sound, support, presence, performance or simply the primal essence of my own human nature.

I am honored to share what is, right now, with you here in this moment. 

I look forward to connecting.
