Charles Littleleaf
It has been six years now since Charles received his first flute. What began as a
personal spiritual journey has blossomed into a spiritual journey of a greater
scope. In sharing his music with the world, Charles also shares the healing
power of the music. Like his great-great grandmother, Sally, Charles is a
musical healer. He doesn't heal with roots and herbs, but with his living,
cleansing music. Charles feels great compassion and oneness with all living
things. Through his music he promotes this belief.
Charles Littleleaf is truly remarkable and his music is his gift to the world
by the grace of the Great Spirit. |
