This website provides a showcase of cultural activities and initiatives I engage in, with an emphasis on communication and creative exchange.
Kokoro-Arte and KokoroArte (both registered trademarks) are the names I use for my work as a writer, performer, educator and Tai Chi and internal martial arts instructor.
As a singer/songwriter and performer, Kokoro’s repertoire of mostly original work (song and spoken word) reflects the wide range of cultural influences cultural influences that have inspired me. There is also an element of raising awareness of social issues as well as encouraging participation of women and equal opportunity in public performance.
The practice of Tai Chi has played a significant role in my life and because of this I have travelled through the years in relatively good physical and mental health. Kokoro-Arte provides courses workshops, sessions and events related to Tai Chi, internal martial arts, and Chi Kung (Qigong) with the aim of sharing this experience and knowledge.
The link for Communication provides a showcase for my contribution to the cultural landscape. I write and present on a wide range of themes and a selection of articles public speaking and media engagement, as well as events and activities related to the arts, education and cultural activities can be found here. This is where you can also read blog posts or find links to podcasts.
