He is the male voice on the popular meditation app Balance, and he leads mindfulness retreats across the country, using an emphasis on self-compassion and his music as a method of teaching.
His latest albums ["Komorebi"](https://open.spotify.com/album/6A22dqZpg5KuQfFxCXETqA?si=InvFDWjxRDGsEHBUOXhf2Q "https://open.spotify.com/album/6A22dqZpg5KuQfFxCXETqA?si=InvFDWjxRDGsEHBUOXhf2Q") and [āAMIDAā](https://music.youtube.com/playlist?list=OLAK5uy_kpX3dKfqQtg7YriGgA7DdRn6N-iWN7psU "https://music.youtube.com/playlist?list=OLAK5uy_kpX3dKfqQtg7YriGgA7DdRn6N-iWN7psU") are expressions of Hip Hop as a form of meditation.

Connection Labs Online (aka Crossroads & Connections)
### Each Crossroads & Connections workshop is a fast, friendly mash-up: short demos, paired practices and intentional reflection. We keep it light, embodied, and socialāso wisdom lands in your muscles and your circle, not only your mind. There isnāt one technique that fixes everything, for everyone, in every situation.
### What is it?
We pair complementary domains to spark shared flow, fresh insight, and unforgettable āaha!ā moments. You leave with lived skills, not just notes.
* **Dialogue** gets you out of solo spin: small-group formats expose blind spots and sharpen āshared reality,ā so your next move matches *this* person and *this* moment.
* **Imaginal** practice is guided āas ifā rehearsal you look *through*, not *at*: walking the beats before the scene means your body recognizes turns when stakes rise.
* **Mindfulness** steadies the camera: attention stops jerking around, drama gets de-amplified, and you can catch the instant youāre narrating motives and swap in one honest question.
* **Embodiment** makes it actionable through direct, non-verbal experience and how your inner experience matches your outer expression.
Facilitators: Varies
Fee: $30USD - Or a 10-pack for $200USD
