title: BEing: Birthing Empowering Imaginative Narrative Gems for the Ageless Children of The Golden Age (BEing Series)
author:  Dorothea Joyce 
description: Dorothea Joyce Lyria Kyri Ma A Musical Muse Dorothea Joyce has traversed many worlds in the exploration of her Creative Expression. She began her life with a musical ear and a vivid imagination for storytelling that surfaced at the age of 3. When she heard a melody she would go to the piano and find it on the keys. Her singing voice became her tonal memory. At the age of 8, Dorothea gave yearly solo recitals in voice and piano that later birthed her path as a music educator, and segued into a blossoming music career of composing, songwriting, and vocal performance in the New York recording and advertising industries. In the late 70's, Dorothea penned a Gold Record with her song, Love's Lines, Angles &amp; Rhymes, recorded by the group, The Fifth Dimension. She later composed musical signatures in advertising, as in her Clio Award winner, Laire du Temps Perfume. Holistic Background Running parallel to her music career was her holistic training as a Music Therapist, MA-CMT, and Advanced Energy - Telepathic Sound Healer. She has been called, 'An Awakener,'. mentoring many to recognize, own, and express their talents, inner qualities, abilities, and inherent extrasensory (intuitive) Gifts. She facilitates private and experiential group venues that offer people the opportunity to discover and Awaken their Natural Creative Genius through 'The Art of Light-Painting' (from her book, Being 'IN' Creation).
