Gregwah! is a band combining various genres birthed from a deep love for music promoting unity. From meditation journeys to produced pop-folk, blues, reggae & trip-hop tracks, the band led by Gregoire Thiry welcomes musicians from various backgrounds & traditions. Every musical connection is an expression of gratitude, reverence & harmony. In addition to sharing instruments from an array of different cultures, Gregoire is cocreating three education programs.
With his wife, Dawn Geer, he launched Yoga of Elements in 2018 which combines mindfulness, creative expression, movement, environmental education & team building. Secondly, Dawn & Gregoire launched their after-school program “OAK TREE Club” in Topanga Canyon, California to empower & mentor the youth, while giving them a safe space to share their truth. Lastly, he is cofacilitating all-inclusive men’s gatherings with David Neptune called “Four Pillars”. This initiative welcomes all facets of masculinity by bringing men from various origins, beliefs, backgrounds & lifestyles together. Reverence, courage & vulnerability are therefore key foundations. World Peace through music.
