The Soul Restoration Project is a laboratory to explore how art can activate and renew our civic space.

Weekends this August my fellow artists and I will weave together our music into daily rituals of collective intention that embody welcome, gratitude, reflection, and celebration.

You can join us in person at Tilikum Plaza located at SE 2nd Pl between SE Tilikum Way and SE Caruthers St. GOOGLE MAP.

In the morning, we offer rituals of welcome and invocation. In the evening we invite gratitude.


Supported by Prosper Portland, City Repair, Regional Arts and Culture Council, City of Portland’s City Arts Program “Supporting Community Healing with Art” Initiative, and Piano, Push, Play. It would not be possible without the support of Brian De Tar and Samuel Austin. This is a continuation of the project created in collaboration with Vanport Mosaic.
