About Kazzrie Jaxen - Kazzrie Jaxen is a jazz pianist, vocalist, composer, and recording artist who has been a vital part of the improvising music scene for many years.  In 1994, she left NYC and moved to a beautiful river town in upstate NY,  where she experienced a personal healing journey with Nature.  This led to a new modality she called "Dreaming in Music" (people lying underneath her piano as she played into their bodies) and a powerful awareness of being a creative participant in a creative universe.  She has also taught Qigong, Meditation, Sound Healing, and Rumi Poetry at The Lodge at Woodloch in Hawley, PA since 2006.
