Music and Deep Democracy
Deep Democracy is more than democracy. This concept invites all voices in the field to express themselves equally. This makes the music more complete and you as a musician more congruent. Deep Democracy is a term in process work that Arnold Mindell developed in the course of his research and which first appeared in the book The Leader as Martial Artist[1]. He came up with this term through his many experiences with groups he worked with around the world. This approach has become very important in process work and is used in many different ways today, whether in political groups, organizations, teams or in working with individuals.

In music, I work with this concept to be more fully and congruently present as a musician. Marginalized aspects of my musical personality are invited to express themselves.
