Niphasone Souphom is born in Sayphone, Laos in 1977.  She immigrated to the United States of America in 1986 with her family.  She grew up in South Bend, WA and moved to the Washington D.C metropolitan area in the year 2000 where she currently resides with her husband and two sons.  She was the first person in her family to achieve higher education.  She graduated from Ohio University with a Masters of Arts in International Studies in the area of Southeast Asia and a Master of Science in Mild and Moderate Disability from John Hopkins University.  She is current a special education resource teacher at Catherine T. Reed Elementary School.  She has been working and teaching students with disability for the past 15 years.  She is also one of the founding member and the current president of the Lao Heritage Foundation, a nonprofit, organization with a mission to promote, preserve, and transmit Lao culture through the arts.

The Lao Heritage Foundation (LHF) is based in the Washington, DC area as a tax-exempt 501(c)(3) public charity with the mission to preserve and promote Lao culture.
Below are descriptions of our programs:

Summer Camp Program 
In addition to teaching music and dance year-round in the Washington, D.C. area, LHF runs a summer camp program in several communities across the U.S. We create standardized music education system (notation and teaching techniques), train teachers, directly teach students, and coordinate with master musicians and community leaders. Since 2006, we have grown from just a few students to nearly 200 students across the U.S., plus another 250 in Luang Prabang, Laos 

The master musicians with whom we partner include National Heritage Fellow Bounxeung Synanonh (kaen), Thongtanh Souvannaphanh (poetry and strings), Sengdeuan Phengkeo (lanahd, kong wong, percussions, strings), Chy Her (lanahd, kong wong, percussions, strings), and Sinthavong Sengmounthong (lanahd, kong wong, percussions, strings, kaen). 
 
Music Notation Program 
As Lao music is traditionally taught by ear, this art is in grave danger of fading away. As an ongoing effort, LHF is notating music and producing recordings of our partnering music masters. These steps will not only help to preserve the music, as but also to facilitate the teaching of it more on our sheet music, sor, kaen
 
Fine Arts 
We partner with Prince Nithakhong Somsanith, who documents and showcases the many treasures of Laos through his uniquely exquisite paintings and the royal art of gold-thread embroidery.
Lastly, we partner a very talented artist/animator, Nor Sanavongsay, who works tirelessly to preserve (and promote) Xieng Mieng stories. Xieng Mieng is a witty folklore character well-loved by Laotians for many centuries.

I am a teacher, speaker, mother, alchemist, innovator, poet, modern mystic and co-curator of creative learning experiences that expand consciousness with the goal of One Shared Humanity.
I serve as the Director of Executive Education & Coaching and as the Founder & e-Co Leadership Coaching Program Director at the George Washington University’s Center for Excellence in Public Leadership.

I believe in coaching as a way of being and an invitation to the practice of anchored capacity, where we learn to stay present, practical and poetic, to deepen and expand our contribution in the world.
We must cultivate capacities that will support people and organizations to think from a whole person and whole systems perspective in a way that gets us deeply in touch with our own humanity and helps us heal our connection within systems, from the cellular level of our being to the cellular level of our humanity and yes, change starts with us. Nations don’t transform, people do and we can start there.
The vision I am committed to:

This is how Laurent was raised and what he brings to his fitness program!

For the past 15 years, Laurent has been Washington DC’s well sought after fitness expert. He was called to participate in Oprah’s “Live Your Best Life” tour and has been featured in ELLE Magazine along with numerous television and radio programs.

﻿Rebecca Fitton explored different places and professional work.  She grew up in Delaware then went to upstate New York for college.  After graduating from Keuka College, then a women’s college, she returned to the University of Delaware for her Masters of Arts in International Relations.  Then she headed for Michigan for careers in urban planning and healthcare administration and a Masters of Business Administration from the University of Detroit.  She continued her healthcare profession in Ohio and retired as President of CareView Home Health in Middletown.

As others who retire know, retirement is a busy time.  She served on five non-profit boards bringing her business acumen to each.  She and her husband Richard built a new home on his farm, and then he died suddenly. Recovery from his shocking death took time.  Finally she realized that the time had come to remake herself.  As the lyrics of the song go, “I’d built a life wrapped so tight it was strangling me.”  Freedom was a spirit call from Santa Fe, New Mexico.

Rebecca arrived in Santa Fe in 2008 and fell in love with the blue skies, clean mountain air, a vibrant community and the arts.  Her first poem was written under a juniper tree. Today, she resides in Pennsylvania on the East Coast.
