Hannah-Jasmine is the Founder and Director of Taiko Journey, leads a community taiko collective, and teaches taiko in Devon. ‘HJ’ has 15 years experience teaching, performing and creating and is a TaikoPeace Co-heart, committed to activating self-empowerment, unleashing creativity, sparking co- collaboration, and healing the human spirit. HJ is passionate about sharing her love of meeting the unknown, is in-love with Dartmoor and wild spaces, and is learning to love to sing!

Tina Sharman is a director and facilitator at On the Hill, carrying forward a lived understanding of how engagement with the outdoor environment, using natural materials, and encouraging the deepening of relationship to each other and with ourselves can nourish and resource our lives. Tina is a breathwork practitioner, coach, potter, plays with an interactive theatre group and loves the polytunnel.

Tina and HJ have known each other for 13 years, and during this time our paths have crossed and intertwined, and we have learned from and been inspired by each other’s work.

HJ has been on retreat with Tina and found her to compassionately support deep enquiry, skilfully hold space for powerful transformation and deliver her work in a sensitive, collaborative way that supports inspiring personal change.

Tina‘s experiences of taiko with HJ have been exciting, surprising and emboldening and she has been consistently impressed by her clarity, skill and power.

We trust each other’s integrity.

We found ourselves making drums together on Dartmoor, have walked together, worked on the land together, explored ideas, questions and vulnerabilities…

Over time we discovered a shared desire to co-create an experience that brings people into community, into connection with themselves, with the land and around the drum.

Through weaving together our skills and experiences we hope to provide a unique offering that supports you to move forward in a deeper relationship with your practice and with life.
