Appreciation:
"Eve’s voice singing the Dharma… reached me deeper than words have ever been able to reach. The energy I felt was a connectedness to all things. Compassion and letting go resonated deeply though my body... By adding her musical abilities to her toolkit of experience Eve Decker is an insightful Buddhist teacher and talented artist."
– Janet Etter, Victoria Insight Center, Canada
"Eve’s songs are often just what I need to remind myself of the truth inside. They’ve been a big part of my daily life practice to inspire and open my heart. I love Eve Decker’s music!"
– James Baraz, founding teacher of Spirit Rock Meditation Center, creator of the Awakening Joy course and author of “Awakening Joy.”
