We are the family group that plays the wonderful singing crystal bowls. We are located in North Port, Florida. Since 2008 we have been sharing the wonderful energy that these bowls give. We know that Spirit has brought us together with these wonderful bowls to help others. The first time we heard them, it was like magic. Over a few months we went from one bowl to a full set. We know they can only give love to everyone around us. The great thing about it all, is that we keep growing.
