Our 2023 Core Team

  • Josephine

    Josephine Dow is an Empowerment Facilitator at The Rhythms Within, where she supports Women in gaining confidence and connection to the Handpan and Frame Drum. Besides being a facilitator she is also a recording artist/multi instrumentalist and has 3 self-released albums under the moniker “Jocean”.

    As a Sound Healer and yoga practitioner she is passionate about the intersection of consciousness, music, and healing. Josephine believes that,

    “Music is a universal language that all humans understand at the core of their being — that music can transmute energy and emotions in such a powerful way.”

    — Josephine Dow

    She encourages her students to understand music first as a personal healing tool for self expression and connection to source. When music is created from this place it has a greater potential to positively impacting others. When Josephine is not teaching, producing, or practicing her many instruments, she can often be found on the trails of the San Juan Islands searching for a mossy spot to enjoy a delicious vegan lunch!

  • Burke

    Greetings, my name is Burke Mulvany, Executive Director of the Peace Through Music Foundation, a Washington State Non-Profit organization.

    My role is to expand the Peace Through Music network locally and globally, by assembling a sustainable, robust, and dedicated team of coordinators, volunteers, sponsors, donors, and community members who will wholeheartedly share the mission of Peace Through Music far and wide. Over the past 30 years I have had the joyously stressful opportunity to coordinate, direct, and manage dozens of festivals, concerts, benefits, and community rituals. I am honored to be in a position to use my energy in new and more expansive ways.

    I have been a Peace Through Music troubadour since that first fateful day when I purchased my first Peace Through Music sticker in a Portland guitar shop when I was 19. My life as a musical performer, festival producer, concert promoter and recording artist have all been encapsulated in my quest to share the joys of music with everyone, everywhere, all the time. I currently live on Orcas Island with my beloved, Josephine Dow, and our frisky cat Freddie, where days are spent visualizing the future of the Foundation and thinking about the next time I get to ride my e-bike through the valley.

  • Kaylee

    Hello Dears! I'm Kaylee, your NorthWest Herbal Fair Education & Community Coordinator. I’ll be coordinating and communicating with all of our incredible educators and keeping our community engaged and in flow. I also work with Josephine & Burke in helping to fine tune and finesse all the little details of the Fair.

    I feel deep gratitude to be working with the Peace Through Music Foundation and helping to produce this sweet gathering for lovers of Earth Medicine, Mythos, & Magick. What a privilege it is to contribute my gifts and energy to curating a weekend of connection, education, rejuvenation, and celebration with our herbal allies and teachers as our inspiration & guides!

    Aside from my work with PTM & the Herbal Fair, I offer Vedic Astrology & Archetypal Tarot readings for those who desire to deepen their Knowing of Self. My life's work and passion is reclaiming my chosen roles as Witch & Priestess and helping others to embrace and embody their inherent Magick and weave deeper meaning into their lives. I enjoy observing and imbibing the diverse elements of nature & culture, studying plants, stars, & mythology, wondering, wandering, holding rituals, circles, & ceremonies, and showering my adorable dog Shadow Lumière with love and belly rubs.
