The tour of joy landed in San Antonio to spend some time with Music Therapist, Amy Standridge. We had a blast breaking the mold on the "usual" joyful moment and did some improv music in the park to connect with people.

It was very fun, but not only fun! How do we tell people we are a safe person as we approach? These and other questions are discussed here.
