May Speaker
"Behind the Scene: Using the Principles of Jazz to Audit our Belief Systems"
with Christopher Brown
Just as enzymes help us to metabolize our food, analogies help us to metabolize concepts. And like our gut, the more diverse our repository of analogies are, the easier it'll be for us to metabolize most ideas. So during our time together we'll be using frameworks inherent to Jazz to help re-contextualize some of our most common lived experiences.
About Christopher:
Over the past 29 years Christopher has completed 20 years of military service between the Marine Corps and Army National Guard; 13 years of living and working in the greater NYC area as a musician; two music degrees from Rutgers University (NJ); six years of teaching at two major universities as a music professor; several international tours; brief stints of commercial acting and modeling for tv and print; and several years of board service in Portland between Habitat for Humanity and TASTE for Equity. Therefore, with such a rich tapestry of lived experiences to draw from, it's only natural that the byproduct of his insights would not only be sought after, but continue to create interesting lanes of opportunity that are solely unique to him.
