  • Mentor

    Expanding Horizons Behavioral Services

    (Mental Health Care industry)

    May 2006Present (3 years 3 months)

    The classic definition of mentoring is of an older experienced guide who is acceptable to the young person and who can help ease the transition to adulthood by a mix of support and challenge. In this sense it is a developmental relationship in which the young person is inducted into the world of adulthood.

  • Independent Community Education, Writing, Percussion and Drum Circle Facilitator

    Third Wheel (Self Employed)

    (Higher Education industry)

    January 2006Present (3 years 7 months)

    “The influence of of a vital person vitalizes, there’s no doubt about it. The world without spirit is a wasteland. People have the notion of saving the world by shifting things around, changing the rules, and who’s on top, and so forth. No! Any world is a valid world if it’s alive! The thing to do is to bring life to it, and the only way to do that is to find in your own case where the life is and become alive yourself.”

    -Joseph Cambell

  • Drum Facilitator

    Public Urban Ritual Experiment

    (Entertainment industry)

    2005Present (4 years)

    PURE is collective of dancers and drummers who take music and dance out into the streets for the purposes of healing and peace. Movements from ancient sacred world traditions including Middle Eastern, Chinese, Romani gypsy, Israeli folk, Flamenco, Indian dance and drumming will be incorporated into the PURE experience.

    Dance and ritual create community, drawing people together both emotionally and physically into a shared sense of the divine. As the community participates, no one is a stranger any longer.

    Dancers and musicians will be travelling down the sidewalks and into subways and public spaces to share their love of dance and music with the public and to pay homage to specific sites.
