“In everything I do, I try to apply Art (especially music) and Creativity in all kinds of work environments, to stimulate learning, work on team-building, stress-prevention etc…. Main goal and most important of all is that playing, and especially making music, brings great joy and beauty, which opens people to change. Change as in finding more Kairos (like flow, meaning, presence) in your life, change as in learning how to activate your Nervus Vagus, through art, awareness and a sense of togetherness.”
