What People Are Saying

Jackson is a light who shares knowledge from a deeply embodied place. He invites participants to connect with their bodies through laughter and play, which makes embodiment accessible to everyone, no matter where we find ourselves on our healing journey.

Surprisingly, I did it. Meaning that I usually am not one to do this, but you got me to. In a good way. And it makes sense - the more you bring in the more you can give out.

— Clara George, Lead Sustainable Production Advisor, Canada for Netflix

You have a knack for facilitating. I was super impressed!! Especially for grounding beginners into this… I love how you weave stories into it.

I felt joy activated in my system and I had more fun than I had had in a long time.

For our annual flagship cultural event - Night of Ideas, Sasha and Jackson’s refreshing performance brought us new perspectives to think critically about sustainability, mental health and community. It was very moving and a wonderful reminder to connect with one another.

Jackson led a workshop for Asian Mental Health Project on releasing anger through movement and it was truly amazing. I was particularly in awe of how he created an inclusive and fun space to express emotions... over Zoom. We've had many participants tell us that this was their favorite session.

— Carrie Zhang, Founder of the Asian Mental Health Project

I loved the uncomfortable growth that happened. I think people are looking for spaces to be vulnerable, especially after the pandemic, and it was so beautiful to see some of our more quiet participants come out of their shells. I really feel like they shined that day.

— Kim Orbe, Sierra Club Angeles Chapter Senior Conservation Program Manager

I was totally blown away... Jackson has an incredible gift of using music and dance to enable humans to connect with each other in a deeply profound way without any guidance, even though we were complete strangers. He has a way of enticing us to drop our natural barriers and to just “feel” and connect with each other - it was both liberating and transformational! Thank you Jackson!

Jackson created an awesome space for our group to let loose, play, and lighten the stresses of our work and organizing. His movement prompts and accessible way of role-modeling movement brought us on a journey through our emotions and closer to each other. It was a terrific experience that I would totally do again!

— John Ma, Organizer, Ground Game LA

Jackson's dance workshop was surprisingly freeing -- through it i discovered grief and strength and a new way to communicate using my body.

— Nicole Levin, Former Hub Coordinator at Sunrise Movement Los Angeles

It was so great to learn to dance through my anger… Expressing these emotions through dance can inspire others to handle their emotions in a productive way, allowing us to focus on our work. I also greatly enjoyed learning about the street dance culture!

— Lucas Batista, Climate Justice Team at University of Colorado Boulder Environment Center

Reminded me the joy of dance. I definitely am bringing back so many gifts from this.
