TRAILER
"Super-Duper Magical!"
~ M. Tweedy
“I set out to create a living, breathing musical world,
one that would harness the power of the hero’s journey
to reawaken our sense of a deeper purpose —
in which we remember who we are,
and why we’re here.”
— Rick Nichols
RICK NICHOLS
The SYNCOPIA music journey and project is based on the vision and creative work of songwriter, teacher and storyteller Rick Nichols.
Rick’s writings and teachings are incorporated into this website and elaborated through his talks and workshops. Visit the BLOG or the SYNCOPIA.world site to check out the latest content and offerings.
“It was like everything in my worrying mind melted out of me,
and I really GOT the beauty I was surrounded with.”
— KL, social activist leader
