Ring The Bells is a song and video, which was created by Participant Media for Search for Common Ground, that I had the great and unique honor to collaborate on with the amazing, beautiful and deeply connected Melissa Etheridge.

Melissa is my soul sister and we first met when we were only little flickering lights within the milky way. That meeting manifested into a time and space cultural collision at the Nobel Peace prize ceremony which led us to writing and recording Ring The Bells.

It is time to Ring The Bells on TakePart and beyond. We need your help to amplify the bandwidth of compassion, unity and peace.
