Ruby Hollow Band
Ruby Hollow's lineup of longtime Chico multi-instrumentalists, songwriters all, includes Dave Cowan, Jo Chavez, Alice Peake and David Bilinski. They aptly refer to Ruby Hollow's collective style as Hot Pogo Folk Music. "We don't stick to one genre, and it's a delicious dilemma," says Chavez. "We go from country to traditional stuff to South American to contemporary covers, like a kid on a pogo stick hopping around for the fun of it."  I have heard them play a number of times and love their music! They've just released a new CD, "Sun Still Shines."

Standing in Balance
Earlene Gleisner was guided to Reiki in 1983 after searching for a simple "hands-on" healing method to use during her registered nursing career.

Her religious basis is non-denominational, and her spirituality is deeply rooted in Native American philosophy and ceremony.
