What is TaikoPeace
“Where intention goes, energy flows.”
TaikoPeace is a movement started by PJ Hirabayashi in 2008 to spread the kinetic energy, spiritual vibration, and pure joy of Japanese taiko drumming for positive social change and a peaceful world.
TAIKOPEACE “NORTH STAR”
May Peace Prevail On Earth. TaikoPeace is in ultimate service to a peaceful, loving, and kind world.
WHY TAIKOPEACE?
TaikoPeace exists because within the taiko community lies infinite, untapped creative potential and a legion of talented, mindful activators ready to be disruptive in ways that heal, serve, and bring more joy to the world. In addition, taiko is uniquely positioned to catalyze peace culture like no other art form can do.
TAIKOPEACE INTENTION
TaikoPeace is dedicated to transforming the limiting beliefs, judgments, misuse of power and ego within the taiko community. And in so doing, empower the taiko community to focus its collective creativity, musicality, and energy towards positive social change and peace in co-creation and partnership with the broader arts community and beyond.
TAIKOPEACE TOOLS
Through spoken, written, and embodied vocabulary, workshops and talks, online and live presentations, and, of course, through the power of the playing taiko - TaikoPeace activities are mindfully fine-tuned to activate self-empowerment, unleash creativity, spark co- collaboration, and heal the human spirit.
