“QUOTE
The goal was to inject energy and community as the first thing for the 300 attendees and it was a huge success. We used “The Changing Rhythm of Legal Education” as a metaphor for the conference theme which John used as an integral part of the experience and we moved seamlessly from the drum circle to the following sessions. I cannot recommend him highly enough.

All Experiences are designed in collaboration with my clients, tailored to their needs, and the desired outcomes of their communities/organizations. Consultation beforehand, and debriefing afterward, is included in all programs. Ongoing coaching is offered an effective way to integrate lessons learned.
Program lengths are dependent on the outcomes desired and the needs of the organization, ranging from simple 10-minute icebreakers to day-long experiences.
No prior musical experience is needed, and a diverse selection of colorful and intriguing rhythm instruments is provided.
MUSIC AND ITS IMPACT
Music is intrinsic to who we are as human beings. It is a carrier of emotion, and it is emotion that motivates us most profoundly.
Rhythm is music's most fundamental, and accessible aspect and is a powerful tool for connecting individuals and communities of all kinds to their sense of unity and shared values and purpose.

VOICING OURSELVES
Our voice is the sonic sum total of our personhood, reflecting our entire life experience as well as our current state of being, both physical and emotional.
It is a primary vehicle for sharing ideas, and emotions, for coordinating action with others, and is one of the most important elements in creating and maintaining relationships and trust. It is fundamental to self-expression.
When we speak, we truly "speak ourselves". Yet what thought do we give our voice?
Listening is the other side of this coin of great value. When we tune into others' voices we are more able to connect, better able to understand and respond more authentically to what is being communicated. This quality of listening takes place both through our ears, and also through our bodies.
Facilitated VoiceExperiences are not about "singing" and require no musical experience. They are opportunities to explore and experience our relationship with our voice and to expand our range of expression and communicate with clarity and impact.
When individuals within teams listen deeply and communicate effectively, real connection takes place and being aligned with the mission and goals of their organization is not only possible, it is energizing!
As with RhythmExperiences, VoiceExperiences can vary in length according to the needs of the client and their organization.
