My heart is still wide open after the launch of Stepping Into Sound Silent Disco
What we created together was so much more than a dance party — it was a living, breathing experience of community, joy, and freedom.
When I dreamed up Stepping Into Sound, the vision was simple yet powerful:
Music, movement, and human connection are essential to our wellbeing.
When we bring them together in intentional spaces, healing happens.
In a world that often asks us to do more, be more, earn more, I wanted to create a space that invites us to slow down, tune in, and remember the simple joy of moving together. No performance. No judgement. Just you, the earth beneath your feet, and the music moving through your soul.
Why Silent Disco?
Silent disco creates something rare: a space where you can be fully present — with yourself, with others, and with the music. Through headphones, everyone shares the same rhythm, but each body interprets it differently. And in that diversity of movement, we find belonging.
This isn’t about learning dance moves. It’s about letting go. It’s about embodiment — tuning into your body, noticing sensations, and letting movement guide you from the inside out. It’s also a somatic practice — releasing stress, shifting emotions, and reconnecting with ourselves in grounded, joyful ways.
This is movement for mental health.
This is community care.
This is music as medicine.
A Family Dream
Stepping Into Sound is a family business at heart. My late father instilled in me the power of music — how it can stir laughter, tears, and joy, and how it can shift something deep inside us. That gift lives on in this work.
Our son Vinnie is also a huge inspiration. Every day he reminds us to embrace life with mindfulness, curiosity, and joy. Children dance without hesitation — they don’t ask if they look silly or if they’re doing it “right.” Somewhere along the way, as adults, we lose that childlike essence. Stepping Into Sound is an invitation to reclaim it — to laugh, to play, to move freely.
The Launch: What We Created Together
The launch night exceeded all my hopes. Here are just a few reflections from those who were there:
The joy, laughter, and smiles were radiant.
Everyone danced their own way — freely, without judgement.
People shared how safe they felt to move however their body wanted.
Not a single phone was in sight — just presence, connection, and freedom.
And one beautiful soul danced so hard they wore holes in their socks!
Even the small details made a difference. The chocolate at the end of the night was a hit. I’m open to exploring creative ways we can make the experience even more nourishing together.
The Why That Keeps Us Moving
At its core, Stepping Into Sound is about belonging. It’s about remembering that laughter is medicine, that ego has no place here, and that dancing together — in community — creates a lasting impact on our hearts, minds, and bodies.
It’s not just about dancing.
It’s about coming home — to your body, your breath, your joy, and your community.
It’s about creating spaces where people feel safe, seen, and free.
The Journey Ahead
The launch was just the beginning of this movement. I’m deeply grateful to everyone who showed up, danced, smiled, and co-created something so beautiful. This is more than an event — it’s a growing community, and I can’t wait to see where it takes us.
In November, we’ll be bringing you Shakti Rhythms — a day-long collaboration with two incredible facilitators, weaving even more magic through movement and music.

From the bottom of my heart, thank you for making this vision come alive. Let’s keep dancing, keep connecting, and keep remembering what it means to be fully, joyfully human.
Thank you for being part of this community. Together, we can navigate the stepping stones of life with compassion and curiosity.
With gratitude and rest,
