His versatile style has allowed his art to thrive in diverse settings such as: festivals, raves, universities, coffee shops, bars, house parties and even churches.
As an educator, Plaedo specializes in “playshops” engaging, interactive and experiential based trainings focusing on topics such as cultural and community resiliency, trauma and trauma healing, personal development, psychedelics, and permaculture.
Beyond his artistic and educational endeavors, Plaedo is deeply committed to practical community action. He designs and develops services for the unhoused, organizes and orchestrates conscious celebrations, facilitates resilient community cultures, and cultivates permaculture gardens.

Ya'll
So I've been on a mission, for pretty much my entire adult life (minus a few lost feral years of research and development), giving most of my time, resources, and energy to helping cultivate, facilitate, and grow resilient cultures and communities.
Depending on the context, my work and play may look different, but whether I'm performing music, public speaking, teaching, designing curriculum facilitating groups organizing events, mentoring youth, developing programs or consulting organizations. Whether I'm focusing on the homeless, community gardens, trauma healing, alternative economics, or conscious celebrations. Ultimately, I'm working for the creation of a more joyous and resilient world. This is what I've dedicated my life too, I've sacrificed near everything in this sacred service. I do this work, because it's what I was designed to do. Even if much of the time, this work is done for free.
And that aint easy. But, for me, it's the right thing to do. If you'd like to help make this work more sustainable for my family and my future, consider contributing and becoming a Patreon. Even 5 dollars a month for a cup of coffee or a bag of apples, literally will fuel this work forward.
Since I love giving when I receive, I’m offering a closer level of connection to my Patreons with opportunities to collaborate or call upon my services for help with your projects; Plus updates so you can see the impact you’re helping me make in our community. https://www.patreon.com/plaedo
