Through Love all pain will turn to medicine. -Rumi

Many years ago, we formed a local monthly music venue with several of our friends. We would take turns performing our original music at the shows and would feature guests from the great pool of Charlottesville musicians, several performing for the first time outside of their living room. We called this venue, Acoustic Charlottesville. It was a labor of love and it was a lot of fun.

We are currently engaged in a labor of love we never imagined, as described throughout this website. Through our training and application of the Son-Rise program, our children have become more connected and we have all grown in incredible ways. However, there is so much further we can go. We continue to work with Carolina Kaiser, our Son-Rise teacher and are looking into the therapy model HANDLE for an assessment for Rumi to help with his speech skills.

We thought that it would be fun to curate a collection of Ursula's songs performed during our Acoustic Charlottesville days. We have put them together into an album that we call Love Is Medicine. It is currently available via iTunes, eMusic, Spotify, iLike and even Amazon as either a download or a physical CD. All proceeds will go to Rumi Rising.org.

Another big way you can help is to enter a heartfelt review of the music at any of the above sites. That will go a long ways toward inviting others to check out the album, bringing in more funds to our program.

Alternatively, you can make a donation. Any amount will help us in our therapy sessions. Donation information is on the left sidebar near the top of this page and can also be found on the separate Donations page. And YES $10 is a great donation!
