Detailed notes:

	⁃	Overall
	⁃	I appreciate how you laid out your report in three sections and columns. Creative use of formatting. 
	⁃	1st column - Early Life and Soul Learnings
	⁃	This is a minor issue - There are numerous small typos having to do with inappropriate uses of commas, periods, and underscores. For example, this could be a period after "development," not a comma. "…at an early stage of my development, Franky…" These little typos would be a good thing to ask your peer reviewer to catch in the future.
	⁃	It sounds to me like you have a keen understanding of healing and forgiveness. It is good to see your high "emotional intelligence."
	⁃	Dark Night of the Soul. Have you continued to track these patters? What are you doing now to continue healing these past hurts? 
	⁃	Recommended readings:
	⁃	Nature and the Human Soul
	⁃	The Art and Practice of Loving
	⁃	Forgive for Good
	⁃	2nd column - Music
	⁃	Excellent history here! I am excited to see you bring your musical intelligence to bear in your Gaia University work this year. Gaia U is a multi-modal University, and yet I have not seen as many examples as I would like of people submitting original compositions in mediums other than writing. 
	⁃	Thanks for including links to your music. This really helps it come alive for me. Sounds like you and Justin had a lot of fun together.
	⁃	Who made the band poster? Whenever including an image, video, figure or graph it is key to also include a caption. 
	⁃	Para Vach - you rock! Great to see Juliet there.
	⁃	Was there supposed to be narrative underneath the "Music with the Keiki" heading? It seems like that photo especially needs a caption or explanation because you mentioned that you want to work more with children and then the photo appears. Would you please tell us more?
	⁃	I would like to introduce you to my friend Aidan Young, who works as a musical mentor through the Reikes Center for Human Enhancement. He lives with his father Jon Young in the Santa Cruz mountains. 
	⁃	Galactic Sunshine - who is the female singing with you?
	⁃	3rd column
	⁃	Typo. "Outtward" and then just after the period is that funny underscore "_" again. Do you know why that underscore appears there? Did you write this in another program and then cut and paste it?
	⁃	I appreciate your storytelling about your nature connection journey. It is interesting to see how your trips were a response from your mother to your experimentation with drug use. I think she was right on to choose nature connection and mentoring as a way for you to choose health and happiness. I also wonder if she experimented with drugs when she was younger as well, as she explored music. And if so what did she think about about your experimentation. I imagine that this conversation is an extension of the healing journey you are on with her. 
	⁃	"[I] brought our 5 year on and off relationship to a close… [and] a rush of freedom and expansion filled my life." It is amazing how sometimes there are energetic leaks that occur, and when we make life changes such as this one we can get more energy simply from not leaking energy any more. I know this must have been a hard time for you, and also full of a lot of learning.
	⁃	I think that you are a very good writer. Have you always been, or did you have some good writing support in high school or college? In any case, I think that your writing is already quite good and so I do not see that there will be tremendous need for writing support through Gaia University (though this is the case with many other associates I work with). That said, this sentence is a borderline run-on. Also, I believe the last words would be "that the majority of humanity has grown accustomed to." 
	⁃	"A major theme of this work is the inextricable relationship between grief and praise, which I felt intensely during the two weeks I spent in Michigan, weeping in the forest with abounding gratitude for the love that pervades this sacred life and immense grief for the great spell of forgetfulness and disconnection to the earth and one another that the majority of humanity has grown accustom."
	⁃	I would like to learn more about the Joanna Macy / Generation Waking Up workshop at Esalen. What was Generation Waking Up's role in this? Will it happen again and will you be involved?
	⁃	Your closing words do a good job of giving the "sense of conclusion." I am excited to see where you put your community involvement energy in this next chapter of your life! 
	⁃	Recommendations for exploration:
	⁃	Art of Mentoring workshop - in Santa Cruz in August, in Vermont in September, in Idaho in October. This workshop has many concurrent programs, including three adult programs, and three youth programs including a massive rite of passage weeklong campout for the teens where they are sung out of the village on the first day and sung back into the village on the last.
	⁃	Coyote's Guide to Connecting with Nature
	⁃	Animas Valley Institute programs or School of Lost Borders programs.
	⁃	The work of Mark Morey and the Institute for Natural Learning.
	⁃	The work of Jon Young and the 8 Shields Institute.
