This immersive project, a collaboration with Abby Wills, promises to envelop listeners in themes of peace, love, and respect for the earth, blending soothing melodies with uplifting rhythms to create a nurturing soundscape.

"Heartful of Peace" is more than just an album; it is an educational journey designed to instill values of compassion, acceptance, and environmental stewardship.

This album, designed in tandem with a children's curriculum, is a mindful and visionary resource crafted for educators and caregivers of TK-2nd grade. It is also accessible to audiences of all ages. 

Produced by Trujillo Vest, Volaitis, and Wills, and mastered by Steve Quadrini at Studio ADM Mastering, "Heartful of Peace" is a testament to the power of collaboration and community.
