ABOUT SONICBLOOM

Personal stories move us, and when we listen deeply, can transform our societies – connecting us across differences, helping us use our voices, cultivating our own resilience, and healing our bodies, hearts, and minds.

My work supports organizations and individuals in using culture and dialogue to build resilience and deepen their commitment to lasting positive change.

Working globally over the past 30 years, I’ve combined my passion for hearing all voices, my love of creative expression, and a commitment to building more resilient and engaged communities. Whether you are a community leader, a teacher, a program manager, an activist, or an artist, I can support your social change work.

I am also certified in Mediation from King County Dispute Resolution Center, Creative Facilitation from PYE Global, and have completed all levels of Strategies for Trauma Awareness and Resilience (STAR). I received community music training from Musicians Without Borders and attended a year-long, international vocal improvisation course, All the Way In. with master teacher, Rhiannon.

I consult and offer training on topics related to dialogue and culture with a wide variety of organizations on peace-related topics, often using arts-based facilitation. More information is available on my LinkedIn page.
