About Me



The Mission:
“IDIL(ideal) exists to create a thriving community and environment dedicated to awareness, exploration, and expression of the Self.”

The Vehicle:
Sound and music, word and emotion. Through these we share our knowledge, our experience, and the product of our imagination. What we present is something both familiar and new. It is intended to inspire one to think, to consider, and to grow, but most importantly to enjoy.
