Destiny Muhammad is a recording, performing artist, bandleader, composer and producer. Her genre Celtic to Coltrane is cool and eclectic with a feel of jazz and storytelling to round out the sonic experience. Destiny has opened for The Oakland East Bay Symphony, shared the stage with nationally renowned jazz masters and is the principal harpist for the Eddie Gale Inner Peace Orchestra and the Oakland Community Orchestra, and she performs with the Awesöme Orchestra Collective.
Danni Pomplun specializes in breaking down the elements of a vinyasa practice in an accessible, fun, and light-hearted way. It is his hope that with each practice, students leave their mat with a stronger appreciation for what the body is capable of and how the practice goes beyond the mat and the physical asanas.
Suzanne Sterling is an ecstatic vocalist, innovative composer, teacher and invoker of the sacred. Both as a performing and recording artist, as well as a facilitator of transformational workshops and intensives for many years, Suzanne has received critical acclaim. Called a contemporary “musical priestess,” she creates sacred and participatory ceremonies for large gatherings and festivals worldwide.
About The Community Preschool
The Community Preschool seeks the richness of a diverse classroom by intentionally enrolling families from the varied socioeconomic backgrounds, ethnicities, religious traditions, gender identities, cultures and abilities represented in the San Francisco Bay Area. We enable students to appreciate different perspectives at an early age and to equip them to contribute to a diverse society. Our goal is to influence the lives of young people and their families and communities in a meaningful and substantive way and to shape how they think, how they view the world and how they engage in it.
