My journey

Echoes of the Himalayas

 

From Camden to Kathmandu

Born in Camden, NJ, I grew up surrounded by the vibrant energy of my family. My father, the third-born and oldest male of 13 children, was raised by a single mother, my grandmother, who faced immense challenges. Though she struggled to be present, her children demonstrated remarkable resilience, forging strong bonds and supporting one another.

 

Inspired by their determination, I embarked on my own path of self-discovery and service.

 

My journey took me to:

 

Destinations of Growth

Maui, Hawaii: Teaching combat yoga amidst tropical bliss

Nicaragua: Sharing wellness practices amidst vibrant culture

Costa Rica: Connecting with nature's rhythms

Dominican Republic: Empowering Haitian refugee communities through Qigong & Combat Yoga

Philadelphia: Rooting my practice in the city's dynamic energy

New York City: Expanding my reach through corporate sound journeys for mental health 

 

A transformative connection came while living in Manhattan. I met a kindred spirit from Nepal, and together we created healing music for years. Our harmonious collaboration sparked an inspiring vision.

 

The Birth of Three Paths Nonprofit

We decided to bridge our cultures through vibrational singing bowls, importing handmade instruments from Nepal to Philadelphia.

This nonprofit project supports:

 

Our Mission

1.    Nepalese artisans through fair-trade practices

2.    Sound healing initiatives for holistic wellness

3.    Temple rebuilding and community empowerment in Nepal

 

I'm traveling to Nepal to:

 

Documenting the Journey

Showcase the origins of our singing bowls

Sound Journeys

The Music of Life

“It’s like a movie for your ears and an experience for the imagination.” 

Iron Gump is a mind-body guide that utilizes gentle movements, breath-work and vibrational instruments to guide explorers into deeper states of relaxation. He has been a lead for corporate retreats, boutique hotels, small group and one on one experiences for over 10 years. 

“I create spaces that allow each person to fully immerse themselves into their own journey. My guidance is there to navigate them intentionally through a safe space of exploration where they can let go, relax and decompress.”

 

Sound Journeys boasts many of the same benefits as meditation:

  • Stress management

  • Decreased anxiety

  • Improved immune system

  • Decreased depression

  • Greater focus

  • Deeper sleep

  • Enhanced memory

 

Sound Journeys also offer some unique benefits related to the healing power of sound vibrations:

  • Released toxins

  • Unblocked and redirected energy

  • Balanced hemispheres of the brain

  • Cleansed negative emotions

 “I cannot express enough how transformative Gump’s training has been for my life. His deep knowledge and experience in yoga, strength training, breath work, and sports medicine have made a significant impact on my overall health and athletic performance. Since joining his classes, I have not suffered any serious injuries in martial arts, which I attribute to Gump’s exceptional training methods and physical expertise. (continued)
