Toto arrived in the United Statesin late 2015 seeking political asylum, which he was granted in March 2018.Since his arrival in the U.S., Toto has spent his time learning and redefining his artistic expression basedon the tension that both his country of origin and the country which has welcomed him endure.

COMMUNITY RITUAL
We recognize ritual as the origins of theater (the Theater of Dionysus), Ritual as container and marker of initiation and transition, Ritual as individual, joint and community space for healing and transformation.
Coming from an earth-based, mindfulness spiritual practice we are interested in the exploration of the nature of consciousness and holding space with and for other people to embark upon their own personal journeys.
ARTFARM leadership has been facilitating earth-based circles for over 30 years.
Keep your ear out for the next Community Ritual in your area (or contact us to craft one that serves you and your community).
