"Today on Gaea Star Crystal Radio Hour #123 we are joined by extraordinary UK singer/songwriter Jont. Jont will be familiar to fans of the movie "Wedding Crashers" which features his song "Sweetheart" over the closing credits. His deeply poetic music has also graced "Grey's Anatomy". Joining Mariam Massaro, Tom Fair, Amanda Pollock and Bob Sherwood to present several of his songs a day after completing a 10-day meditation retreat, Jont astounds with his mastery of simple words and his achingly human poetry. Jont's "Taking My Time", "Here To Stay", "Teardrops and Pennies" and "Love Gave Me A Sign" are spun into a narrative of his discovery of a daughter he never knew he had and his relocation to Halifax, Nova Scotia to be with her. Jont also joins the Gaea Star Band for a beautiful, mystical take of Mariam's "Rialea", aa harmony-drenched, percussion-driven "Pele" and much more."

Gaea Star Crystal Radio Hour #124 is an hour of groovy summer music and improv made just for you on a July day. With Mariam Massaro on vocals, 6- and 12- string guitars and baritone ukelele, Tom Fair on Nashville guitar and tabla and Bob Sherwood on piano, percussion and vocals, we run through liberally extended versions of Mariam's "I Saw You", "Dancing Boots", "Riding On The Waves Of Love", "Starting Over (Summer Day)". After the break we present a mystical, mysterious take of "Waves" and a wide-open reverie called "Black River Bay" that melds Mariam's alternate-tuned 12-string to a beautiful tone poem about nature. Closing the set on a high note is "In The Light Of The Silver Moon", a mysterious tale told by Mariam against the backdrop of an eastern midnight."

Niki Elliott, Ph.D. (known by her students as Dr. Niki), is an author and educator with 20+ years of hands-on experience, whose mission in life is to support intuitive children and adults who need help bringing their gifts into balance. During her work in traditional school systems, several parents shared that their children could see auras, deceased loved ones, and others confided their children had vivid dreams about events that were confirmed days or weeks later. Several students experienced extreme difficulty in crowded classrooms and seemed to absorb the energy of those around them. Unfortunately, these children receive incorrect diagnoses of being ADHD, ADD, and their parents were encouraged to medicate them in order to solve behavioral issues. Dr. Niki’s life mission centers around helping children live full and balanced lives. She wishes to inspire everyone who raises or works with children to recognize their intuitive gifts and nurture their inner genius. Dr. Niki earned a B.A. degree from UC Berkele

This week’s guest, Bob Stahl, the founder and director of three mindfulness-based stress reduction programs at three medical centers in the San Francisco Bay area, shares with us his unique path into the healing profession, and what he has discovered. Two of his most beloved family members died during Dr. Stahl’s childhood, awakening in him confusion and an enduring interest – what is this thing called death that can wreak such havoc in one’s life? What does it mean, and what can we do about it? This led him on a quest, beginning with a study of the physical process of death, then continuing with an exploration of its social, spiritual, and psychological factors. This, in time, led him to the committed practice of Buddhism and 8 ½ years in a monastery. Professionally, he found numerous applications for what he had learned, especially in the practice of (MBSR) – a most useful clinical tool developed by Jon Kabat Zinn. Dr. Stahl will share with us the meaningful of mindfulness, the practice of being present, i

"Gaea Star Crystal #122 is a heat-hazed summer reverie featuring Mariam Massaro on guitars, ukelele and vocals, Sondra Lewis on percussion and vocals, Craig Harris on congas, Tom Fair on nashville guitar and banjo and Bob Sherwood on piano and percussion. We begin with a spacious, beautiful tone poem we'll call "Summer Solstice Time" that floats like a June mist and features an evocation of summer from Mariam. We float into a new song/improv from Mariam called "Experience Of Bliss" and return from the break with a beautiful, distinctive take of "Sing Down The Walls" by Mariam and Kri Blozie featuring gorgeous harmonies from Sondra. Mariam's "Open The Way" swings nicely with a steady, percussive groove and takes it's leave with an echo-driven percussion improv. A groovy, lazy reprise of the "Solstice" theme billows away on a June gust."
