"Gayanne is a truly gifted musician, teacher, counselor, and community leader, creating a synthesis of her multiple trainings in theology, music, psychology and community building I have known her personally as both a collaborator and a teacher.

"You must spend some time with Gayanne's voice and music, with her artistry. I am enthralled each time I have the pleasure of hearing her, of working alongside her, moved by the fullness of her offering which is generous and lush, strong and ancient in the feeling of connection it stirs in the listener. We need Gayanne's voice in this moment in time as she is a rare and courageous creative adventurer, modeling a superb strength of spirit and a radical openness of heart."
