We are Zero Ground Collective — a circle of artists, musicians, and healing practitioners devoted to creating experiential art breath work: immersive, transformative journeys where breath, sound, and performance become gateways to presence.

Our work lives at the intersection of healing and the arts — a space where creativity awakens, magic feels possible, and our shared humanity comes back into focus. In an overstimulated and disconnected world, what we need isn’t more information — it’s embodied experience: joyful, somatic, grounded, and heart-opening.

Through a fusion of breath, live music, and creative expression, we offer one-of-a-kind gatherings — living works of art that invite deep connection and playful discovery. Each happening is crafted with care, blending the sacred with the unexpected — always accessible, always transformative.

Our collective brings decades of experience, including:

Wim Hof Method breath work

Taiko drumming and multi-instrumental sound immersion

Visual and performance arts

Healing practices

Music composition, sound design, and event production

Meet the artists behind the collective:

John Whitaker – Wim Hof Method instructor & artist

Kallan Nishimoto – Multi-instrumentalist & sound producer

Kumi Uyeda – Pianist & creative artist

Yukiyo Takaishi Payne – Taiko drummer & bodyworker

Join us for a new kind of happening — where breath meets beat, and spirit meets art - in a beautifully absurd way.
