Album Notes

When Alysia started singing into a hairbrush at the age of three, her parents decided that perhaps she might want to learn how to play the piano as well. A 1983 graduate of Ithaca College School of Music, Alysia is a gifted healer, teacher, singer and songwriter now living in Washington State. “All of what I do, really, has to do with a quality of prayer; a way of acknowledging my passion for the Sacred and its’ ability to transform humanity, to transform my life and heart.”

Her newest CD, Three times around the world upon your head, is a project that represents 4 years of gathering and sorting through numerous field recordings done at the Tibetan Bon Menri Monastery in Northern India. It is the culminating expression of her devotion and passion for these indigenous people of Tibet, their Spiritual teachings and the profound influence His Holiness Menri Trizin, 33rd Abbot of Menri and of all the Bon people continues to have on her life, heart and soul.

“We are here only as long as there is a world safe for children”is the central slogan behind her formation of the Bon Future Fund, a non profit Trust created to provide higher education for these Indigenous children of Tibet living as refugees in India and Nepal.
