Our journeys to understanding ourselves can be so overwhelming- they are just a tiny fraction of the process and experiences that we choose. I have made it my mission in life to support these journeys, and do it through the very tunings that have supported me.

Here’s my story:

I was born in communist Poland. It was a very different time than now.  I spent much of my time thinking about far-off destinations. Much time was spent riding trains to the outer reaches of geopolitical zones - as far as they would let me- in my case it was to the edge of Russia. I relished in where I could go, the exotic being at the edges of the rail line politically available. The sounds of the trains on rails were my first soundtrack.

​

There was the clanking of the train on the rails, the sensorial experience of the smoke in the cars, and the stories of people. So many stories shared, always. Between the sights, sounds, smells, and narratives, a slower and expansive sense of time emerged.

​

I loved this depth of sense, and found it as much experiencing the church's organ as I did playing punk music as a teenager. In reverence to Spirit or in rebellion, shooting out words with two or three riffs, the healing power of Sound consumed me.

It would be well into adulthood when I would be invited back to the healing power of Sound and Nature in companion.

Many years into adulthood, I was presented with a life-threatening diagnosis. That kickstarted, as it does for many of us, a healing journey that continues today. I began with physical practices, then practices that combined Sound with the body, and now, the space between nature, Sound, and body have found their right relationship. These practices have ultimately led me to a more naturalistic way of treating the body and the mind, in companion with Nature.  

​

A big turning point came in 2002, when I experienced my first Gong concert. Without question, it changed my perspective, my proprioception, and a new channel opened. I developed a relationship with Don Conreaux and we soon began a collaboration. We began to tour, and over time, I incorporated multiple instruments into my practice: the guitar, piano, and indigenous percussive, wind, and string instruments. I led multiple world tours with other Sound practitioners, and began to record my own music. In 2006 in partnership with Johannes Heimrath, we began to make our own line of Gongs.

2011 Abby Delsol invited me to Argentina, where we met for the first time. The rest was actually not history, as it lives to this day. We have been collaborating with the seeds that we were given from Don Conreaux, Johannes Heimrath and others along the way, and have been sharing gongs, as well as indigenous instrumentation, and developing new instruments since.

In the few years to come, Abby and I co-created the methodologies of sound and movement that comprise our trainings and retreats today. The full system is something to behold. The compendium aligns where the sound that comes into the body, where it emerges from the body, and the movement that integrates it all. The experience is one of healing, that takes all the roads that have been traveled, the searching, and the resistance, back to the centre and into the whole.
