“Francesco Palmirotta has been an erudite and entertaining person with whom to be associated over the past 15 years, as I have been as editor of the AHP Perspective, as host to him in my community, and as guest and workshop leader in his community. His work with music therapy, his somatic/therapeutic/psychological educational institution called Ontosophy University in Bari, Italy and his extraordinary ecotourism community, Solinio Village, are all noteworthy contributions to the world. While his guest at Solinio Village I was honored to explore the long-term sustainability of their community with the residents in a series of workshop settings. While we had to overcome language differences, we did so with good humor and good results. It was a most fascinating respite. Alexandra Hart
