While performing with her husband, Shun Kodama, as the musical duo Kodama to Chiyo, she was invited to compose the music for the permaculture film "TERRA-Green Planet-." This led her to encounter the Dances of Universal Peace, and she now finds deep healing in this primal, elemental approach to music.
