About me

SLOW TOURS: generating ecological designs for live events
I am a musician exploring how the music trade can embrace transition and help to build community resilience, how the practical and creative endeavours of musicians can help to grow healthful networks and systems dedicated to the regeneration of Life (ecological, social, cultural, spiritual).
Touring artists and the ecologies surrounding our travel routes can really thrive when we place our live events in the cultural centres of a healthy world; in the places where indigenous knowledge stands strong, in transition towns and cities; in eco-villages and intentional communities; in the centres, festivals and convergences that are dedicated to ecological and social wellbeing.
I believe that ecological living can empower music and the arts, and that they mutually support each other’s prosperity, and that of the Earth’s. From how waste is cycled, energy generated, food/medicine/craft localised, money used, collective energy focused, environments co-created, ideas and inspiration shared: By integrating our tour circuits with these networks, we can both aid their growth and connectivity, and develop a more ecologically sound infrastructure for live music.
We are booking our Slow Tour 2016-2017 now, so if you would like to co-create an event with us – please get in touch! We look forward to meeting you!

The Pioneers of Gaia Ashram , 5th of July– 2nd of August 2015 The Gaia Ashram Internship is a one month program on Ecovillage Design, Permaculture and Deep Ecology. The internship will be a holistic participatory learning experience & process. Interns will experience being part of the Gaia Ashram Community and we will live together for one month at– Gaia Ashram-. At Gaia Ashram we belief in holistic learning that balances the head, hands & heart. Gaia Ashram encourages participatory learning & values the power of community in holding the learning space. We design the daily & weekly structure of the internship and of our lives here based on these values and principles. Theoretical learning (Head) The theoretical sessions will be participatory and interactive. It will cover the 4 keys of Ecovillage Design Education (Social, Economical, Ecological and Worldview inspired by Gaia Education). Each week will cover one of the Ecovillage Design Keys and integrated into this we will be introduced to Permaculture Design & Deep Ecology in terms of philosophy, movement and personal experiences. Overall, We will have a maximum of 2-3 hours of theory per day on the session days, to also create lots of space for practical experiential learning. See more details of the key content below. Practical learning (Hands – on) For the hands – on practical learning we will be developing the Gaia Ashram’s farm and restoring nature on the Gaia Ashram land using permaculture strategies & techniques that are appropriate for the Rainy Season & the land and its local context. The hands-on work will focus on Gardening work i.e. developing the vegetable gardens, planting seeds & seedlings, transplanting, propagation of plants, making composts, growing and maintaining a Food Forest, planting green manures, planting lots of trees, planting seasonal crops. Apart from the Gardening we will also will be doing some natural building which mostly will focus on creating natural finishes usi

Sociocracy Leadership Training

SoLT is an innovative way of learning sociocracy. Think of it as an immersion program in a ‘pop-up’ organization. SoFA provides the framework for that organization. That way, people interested in sociocracy can join SoLT and learn by doing what sociocracy feels like. Imagine you wanted to learn rowing – and then you attend a workshop where you never sit in a boat. This is different in SoLT. We provide boats for people so they can learn and do and practice at the same time. We’re right next to you for every step, while you grow more and more confident and skilled. Within 12 weeks, we will tell you all you need to know to be part of a successful, well-grounded sociocratic organization. Watch the video below to hear more https://youtu.be/_4ELOmKfUdY
