Portland, OR – “For me, teaching music and movement is far more than helping a student learn an instrument or how to move their bodies. It’s about creating a space where people can connect deeply to their internal rhythms and their own sense of pulse. From there, they’re often able to experience a deeper sense of integration – not just with themselves, but also with their community and with the world at large. When people feel connected through drumming together, making sound together, or dancing, I feel like my work is bigger than myself, like I’m doing my part for the greater community.”
