Holistic Life Navigation

Inspired by his lost love of online message boards, Luis put out a call for Tori Amos fans to come together and discuss how her music has impacted their lives.They agree that the magic of Tori comes from both her as a person and her music:· the music that navigates both ends of the spectrum, from anger and angst to beauty and dreamlike reverie, all within one song· the lyrics that are both emotional and rebellious , often combining the sacred and profane in one line· the way she brings rawness, authenticity, and the body to the piano· the holistic expression of her self that she brings to the musicYou can watch the  to piano shopping interview Luis' mentions here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BTvyXMhoDuwYou can find Amiss Tori on social media: @amiss_toriYou can connect with Tori Amos' work on her website: https://toriamos.com/ Register here for the upcoming August 9th webinar, "Supporting Boys Through Puberty: Navigating P*rnography, Hormones & Isolation".
