Songscapes: Music and Nature

Dimitri Mugianis fronted the New York based punk band, Leisure Class, known for their highly energetic shows and ‘Beat’ poetry inspired lyrics. After spending years wrestling with drug addiction Dimitri found his way to recovery and was inspired to create an organization that provided others with an opportunity to be a part of a support network. Cardea, draws upon Dimitri’s experiences in Gabon to visit a group that practices Bwiti. Drawing upon these traditions, Dimitri guides others through recovery and provides a place for self-love and personal growth.
