Whether leading collective chant\, performing beloved classics\, or guiding audiences into embodied presence\, he helps people reconnect with their own voice and authentic expression. \nThrough storytelling\, humour\, and his signature Chapman Stick\, Nathen builds bridges between performance and presence — reminding us that music is not just something we hear\, but something we become together. \n\nINTERESTED IN SPONSORING THIS EVENT? \nNOW AVAILABLE: Sponsor Tickets! \nFor $150 Sponsors will receive entrance to the event\, a table for sales and networking AND 2 Minutes to Speak Directly to the Crowd! \n\nHappening at: The Arbutus Club  ( 2001 Nanton Avenue \, Vancouver\, BC V6J 4A1 )
