We are Soy and Dan, the founders of Soda Sessions. As professional circus artists and play facilitators, we have joined forces to bring the transformative power of creative arts to diverse communities. We aim to empower youth and enhance their mental and physical well-being through engaging play workshops. We specialize in teaching circus arts, sound therapy, and breath work. Our deep passion for our circus arts and sound immersion has fueled us for 10+ years, and we firmly believe in the transformative power of play to facilitate personal and collective growth. As dedicated play facilitators, we are journeying into remote communities by bicycle, transporting our circus and sound equipment. We aim to deliver captivating and immersive circus arts and sound workshops to engage and inspire the youth who do not have access to these opportunities. 

 

Our bicycle journey embodies our core values, fostering well-being, community bonds, and environmental consciousness. It’s not just a means of transportation; it reflects who we are and what we stand for. By riding bicycles, we demonstrate our dedication to maintaining our physical and mental well-being and discover a compelling way to establish deep bonds with the communities we are fortunate to visit and have the privilege to learn from. 

 

Through cycling, we inspire youth to embrace an active lifestyle and lead by prioritising personal health. Cycling demonstrates our commitment to reaching remote communities and delivering workshops encouraging creativity, self-expression, healthy self-esteem and self-development. It showcases our dedication to going the extra mile, both figuratively and literally, to positively impact young individuals’ lives. 

 

We actively immerse ourselves in the communities we encounter. Our slow travel will allow meaningful interactions with residents, gaining insights into their needs and culture and fostering lasting connections. It reflects our genuine dedication to building trust, amplifying our workshops’ impact, and creating a positive atmosphere for everyone involved. By utilising bicycles, we minimise our carbon footprint and actively promote eco-consciousness.
