Chris Giffen is kept alive and well by music, his deepest passion. Chris is currently living in the Saskatoon area. He has worked at Naramata Centre with children and youth for a number of summers, and his music has more recently led him to offer music resource leadership for Naramata's programs. As of late, a focus on vocal improvisation has become important to Chris both in communities and on his own.
Chris' longtime vision is to create, with friends, a music retreat centre that would offer music for healing and empowerment, and would explore music as creative activism in the world.
