In ancient times, those who taught dance and music, were also responsible for passing down culture and healing our spiritual connection. Their job was to remind us of all parts of our humanity. Aly Cardinalli continues this tradition.
For over 30 years, I has been developing and growing a connection to spirit, and I am grateful to be a bridge between worlds for so many of you. But it is also part of my mission to teach you how to do this, too! I often tell clients that no one is closer to spirit than you. Your connection was always there, and will always remain, just in a different form. I am happy to share the tools and practices that I have learned from spirit to help you continue that connection and build authentic faith.

His parents were against Aly learning these practices, but Cardinalli was prodigy dancer and educator.
