Musical Mindset
Music Therapy Session
Musical Mindset has an International Associates of Sound Therapy Diploma– a 120-hour course at the Dome Center in Alcaliz, Spain– as well as 7 years of professional experience. The therapy sessions offer a deeply immersive experience, centered around the rich, grounding vibrations of the didgeridoo (his primary and most beloved instrument), native flutes, percussion, acoustic strings, and vocal overtoning, each journey unfolds as a dynamic exploration of sound and stillness. These purely acoustic journeys meet participants where they’re at– allowing them to release negative emotions and fully attune to the natural rhythm of sound and presence in a meditative state.
Live Looping Music Performance
Musical Mindset’s live looping performances are immersive, movement-driven experiences that blend native flute, percussion, vocals, and strings into a cohesive, evolving soundscape. Designed for sober audiences, the music supports deep listening, embodied movement, and authentic connection on the dance floor.
Each set is created in real time and unfolds organically, shaped by the energy of the room and the people present—making every performance a one-of-a-kind journey. Drawing inspiration from intentional music spaces, Musical Mindset creates environments where dancers can drop in, move freely, and stay present with what’s arising.
Musical Mindset has performed at ecstatic dances across Minnesota, Chicago, Des Moines, and Madison, as well as internationally at Inanitah Community in Nicaragua and Shangri-La Music Fest. This offering is well suited for sober dances, ecstatic dance gatherings, and intentional community festivals.
Cultural Connection with Greek Dancing
Music and movement have been at the heart of Paul’s journey since childhood. Since the age of six, he has been immersed in Greek Dance and Music, performing across America and Greece with some of the most renowned Greek teachers and performers, including Agis Tsakalakos.
Paul specializes in teaching and performing traditional Greek dances, including: Kalamatianos – A joyful circle dance rooted in tradition,
Zeibekiko – A soulful, improvisational dance of deep expression,
Tsamiko – A powerful, historic dance symbolizing strength and pride,
and Hasapiko – A rhythmic and dynamic dance with origins in the Byzantine era. In addition to classes, Paul hosts an annual retreat in his village in Greece, where participants have the opportunity to learn these dances firsthand in the very land where they originated. This immersive experience includes dance, music, and cultural exploration, offering a deep connection to Greek traditions and an unforgettable journey into the heart of Greek culture.
Whether through performance, instruction, or the retreat experience, Paul aims to preserve and share the rich traditions of Greek dance and music, bringing people together through rhythm, movement, and culture.
