Welcome to The Light Inside,
Carrie Grossman’s creative home on the web.
Thank you for stopping by!
My work and art explore the wild terrain of the heart. I believe that beneath our protective shells we are luminous, enlightened beings – authentic, open, deep, and kind. We are also mindless, messy creatures flopping around in the dark. I thoroughly appreciate this duality, and praise the paradox inherent in human life.
Here you will find samples of my music, writing, and workshops. Please have a look around, relax, and enjoy...

My friend, the stain of the Great Dancer
has penetrated my body.
I drank the cup of music, and I am
hopelessly drunk. ~
